MITCHELL – The Mitchell City Council voted to reduce the speed limit to 20 miles per hour along certain city streets Monday night, with plans to place new speed limit signs along the roadways in the coming weeks.
The initial motion was raised by Mitchell Mayor Nathan Jenkins of the consistent speeding he has either witnessed or been made aware of along the route currently under construction with the High School’s capital project during the September City Council meeting.
Following the passage, the following streets in Mitchell will have a 20-mile-per-hour speed limit:
- North 9th Street, between Main Street and Hancock Avenue
- Rabbitsville Road, between Hancock Avenue and Doc Hamilton Boulevard
- Warren Street from the railroad tracks/5th Street to Meridian Road
- Brook Street from the Mitchell Cemetery to the railroad tracks
- 12th Street from Brook Street to Hancock Avenue
- Main Street from the railroad track to Lehigh/County Road 100 E
