(51,907 posts)HB 1045/SB 5066:
The Neighborhood Safe Streets Bill would allow cities to lower the speed limit on non-arterials to 20mph without having to pay for an engineering study. This bill, previously introduced by the Bicycle Alliance, passed the House unanimously in 2011 and again in 2012. Voted a do pass recommendation by House Transportation Committee Jan. 24, 2013, and by Senate Transportation Committee Feb. 6, 2013. HB 1045 was pulled in the House Rules Committee on Feb. 13. On Feb. 18 rules were suspended and it was placed on third reading. It passed the House 86-10. HB 1045 has been read in the Senate and was referred to the Senate Transportation Committee where it was heard on March 14. We are now awaiting an executive session of the Senate Transportation Committee on whether to recommend a do-pass for the bill
