说明
COUNTY DATA NOW SHOWS THAT THE AVERAGE SPEED HERE IS CLOSER TO 40 THAN TO 30. THIS SHOULD BE AN EASY FUND RAISER FOR MINNEAPOLIS TRAFFIC CONTROL. a speed trap set on 45th facing Cedar would absolutely clean up!

The noise and environmental degradation from this problem of speed and related traffic volume will be the main focus as neighbors pursue legal representation.
Simple enforcement of speed laws would be the most direct and cost effective way of mitigating this issue, and would likely generate income for the city

The city should just recognize that this is a major arterial road (County Hwy 77) and raise the speed limit to a realistic 40 or 45 mi/hr.
The citizens have already done this in practice, but the silly government bureaucrats have kept it as a slow 30 mi/hr limit.

Tim- Raise the speed limit? Weather or not the de facto limit now is 40/45 or not, doesn't make it right. You must not live near, or frequent any businesses on Cedar, or I wouldn't think you would suggest raising the speed limit.
Traffic should be encouraged to take Hiawatha, or 35W as a thoroughfare instead of residential Cedar Ave. Its nearly impossible on foot, and almost at difficult in a car to cross Cedar or turn onto it due to the high speeds and reckless driving on Cedar ave. It is laughable how little police representation there is on Cedar given the need.

I agree Levi,
Tim, did you ever think that there was a reason that the speed limit is 30?
The designation of the road says nothing of the infrastructure. It's a narrow road and completely residential. Based on that, the city should consider LOWERING the speed limits, especially when they consider the amount of park land in the mix.
Raising the limit would also destroy the tax base in S. Mpls. In an economic climate like our, it would be quite unwise.
I would suggest folks wanting to travel that speed try Hiawatha or 35W like Levi says. The next few years are already scheduled to see a number of major changes on Cedar, like the Greenway Crossing around 40th and other business based improvements. It should be noted that these changes are not brought about by 'the bureaucracy' but by the residents of the area.
Also, I have been seeing a few more speed traps on Cedar (hooray!). Judging by the increase I would say the city may have found a profitable new enforcement practice!
