Official Text

That the Administration explain to this Board, in writing, why it is recommending to the Traffic Commission that 20 mph speed zones be adopted only in designated locations, and not citywide, as recommended by the Somerville Police Department's Traffic Division, and consider changing that recommendation so that all streets in the city (except for state roads) have a 20 mph speed limit.
