ITEM NO. 30 - CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 23-189 OF THE MUNICIPAL
CODE OF IOWA CITY TO SET THE SPEED LIMIT OF SCOTT BOULEVARD.

Comment: Scott Boulevard was signed at 35 miles per hour after
its construction in 1981. The proposed ordinance would set the
speed limit for Scott Boulevard at 35 miles per hour in the
Municipal Code. This codification of the speed limit was
overlooked at the time of construction in 1981.
The 35 miles per hour speed limit is consistent with the City's
speed limits for other outlying paved roadways.
