Good Afternoon,

Great news on this Eclipse Day, the Residential Speed Limit Reduction Study is complete! Here is the link to the study:
https://20isplentyjax.com/
There were over 2,600 responses to the Survey. 80% of respondents supported lower speed limits on our residential streets. Speeding was the #1 pedestrian safety concern in residential neighborhoods (Page ES-4).
I encourage you to review this study and contact your City Council Member and Mayor Deegan. Express your desire for a city that is safer for all. Please share this study with friends, family, and neighbors. We still have work to do!
