Survey will determine appropriate speed limit

Question between 35 and 25 mph for Old Stage lingering

The city of Morris will be doing an engineering study on Old Stage Road to decide whether the speed limit on the road should stay 25 mph or be changed back to 35 mph.

The committee approved spending $2,500 for the study through Chamlin & Associates engineering firm during its regular meeting Tuesday.

The speed limit has been 25 mph since the city council voted for the change in June.  The speed limit was 35 mph from 2003 to 2012; prior to 2003, it was 25 mph.

I will support it if it helps to lower my property taxes
I oppose it because I don't believe it will impact property taxes and I will just pay twice
I'm against any additional taxes
I have not heard enough yet to form an opinion
