Traffic issues on the North end are being fixed. It won't be as close, but will be nice to have quality gas at a good price.

Lowering speed limits might be an effective means of reducing injury and fatal traffic accidents but only if the limits are regularly enforced. One important way to "protect and serve" is zero to low tolerance enforcement every day.
