Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · agenda_item

This item involves a planned adjustment to the speed limit on Michigan Street, between S Fern Creek Avenue and Bumby Avenue. The speed limit is proposed to be lowered from 40 mph to 35 mph. This change is currently approved by the Board of County Commissioners. The project will involve traffic engineering studies and the installation of new speed limit signage. This work will likely be phased, starting with the official approval and study, followed by the physical placement of signs. Local contractors specializing in traffic control, sign installation, and potentially road marking services could find opportunities. Reaching out to the Traffic Engineering Division early could provide insight into the project timeline and specific needs before formal bidding processes begin.
