RE: [Mpls] Speed limit on Hiawatha

[Eric Oines]

Just to chime in here...

As someone who uses a short stretch of Hiawatha pretty much daily, and studiously observes the 35 MPH speed limit, I can tell you the 45-55MPH is the defacto speed limit now. Everybody just whizzes past me, especially those southbound folks who think the plane will leave without them.

I have also seen many high school kids and families crossing at 26th, and 38th. There are 5 lanes to cross there and the lights are never long enough.

The folks who are advocating a 55MPH limit are actually, IMHO, advocating the 65-70MPH defacto limit on 35W and 94.

They promised a 35MPH limit - they should keep their promise and MPD should do some enforcement so people respect the limit.
