Poll: Should Sycamore Street Speed Limit be Reduced?

The township's traffic committee would like to see the speed on Sycamore Street reduced from 35 to 25 in some areas. Is it a good idea?

 

Newtown Township's traffic committee is recommending that the speed limit on some portions of Sycamore Street be reduced from 35 to 25 miles per hour. 

However, the Sycamore Street Community Association, which represents the businesses on the street, Association representatives said a reduction in speed would be detrimental to Sycamore Street businesses. They believe if cars are forced to go slower, drivers will simply avoid the street altogether.
