That the Director of Traffic and Parking consider reducing the speed limit to 25 MPH on Porter Street between Summer and Elm Streets.
A Speed Zone Study will be prepared and forwarded to MassDOT requesting that the Primae Facia speed on Porter St be changed to a posted speed of 25 MPH after the required radar speed observations are forwarded to Traffic and Parking from the Somerville Police Dept. The radar speed observations must support the change in speed zone request in order for the Speed Zone Study to be forwarded to MassDOT.
Please contact me with any questions.
