Golden Valley Council Decides To Not Move Ahead With Speed Limit Reductions

Press release from the City of Golden Valley:

May 14, 2021

At its May 11 Council/Manager meeting, the Golden Valley City Council decided to not move forward with a speed limit reduction on Golden Valley residential streets.

The City had been looking into the issue since early 2020 after the Minnesota State Legislature adopted a bill that allows limited authority to cities to set speed limits on streets under their jurisdiction.

In 2020 the City and its engineering consultant, SEH Inc, conducted a speed limit study and in 2021, the City published a survey for residents to share their input. The survey revealed 123 respondents (52 percent) did not want to see a speed limit reduction on residential streets.

For more information and to review the speed limit study and survey, visit the Local Speed Limit Reduction page on the City website.
