City Council to Consider Reducing Speed on Some Commercial Streets Including Newport Ave in OB

A San Diego City Council committee wants to lower speed limits on a number of commercial streets, including Newport Avenue. The committee met last Thursday, Feb. 20, and advanced a proposal to lower speed limits to 20 miles per hour on Newport Ave, as well as on a handful of blocks in Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Old Town, Hillcrest, North Park and City Heights. The full city council will probably vote on the lower speed limits sometime in March. See this map:
