The original ordinance to temporarily reduce the current speed limit on Old Settlers Boulevard from 45 -
mph to 35 -mph during construction extended from Chandler Creek to Fairview Drive. The revision to
this ordinance will extend the temporary construction speed zone from Bluffs Landing Way to Brenda
Lane. Due to the volume of traffic on Old Settlers Boulevard this extension to the speed zone will
promote a safer environment for workers, pedestrians and drivers as well.
