(Okoboji)– The speed limit on a heavily traveled street in Okoboji is being lowered. On 3-2 votes, the City Council Tuesday evening approved the final reading and adoption of an ordinance revision lowering the speed limit on Sanborn Avenue from 35 mph currently to 25 mph.
Proponents of the lower speed limit have sited safety concerns with a heavy volume of pedestrian traffic along the road between Highway 71 and Speier Park.
City Administrator Michael Meyers told the council Tuesday evening preliminary design work continues for a recreational trail along Sanborn Avenue.
