Chief Reimer explained if the speed limit is reduced, speed boards and flags would need to be used when reopening the roadway for traffic calming measures. Citizen Paul Bratz who resides on Waldo Boulevard feels very strongly the speed limit should be reduced because vehicles are traveling much greater than the posted 35 MPH speed limit.
