Good morning,
I applaud the city for making changes to reduce speed limits.
Would you kindly advise me what steps will be taken to markedly improve enforcement of
current speed limits, as well as those being proposed? I ask this based on my thirty years ofexperience as a resident, which tells me that street signs indicating the speed limit are quite
ineffective, absent regular enforcement by the police department. I would also suggest that'regular enforcement' means something more frequent that four or five days per year.
I live on Highland Boulevard and the traffic, for the most part, significantly exceeds the
posted 25 mph speed limit. There is rarely, if ever, a demonstrated effort of enforcement. Thathas been the case in this part of Bozeman for many, many years.
It would be a big step in the right direction, if the police would actually have a visiblepresence, on a regular basis, where they are issuing citations.
The bolded portion above is important.
Thank you,
