City of Henderson
Citizens Traffic Advisory Board meeting re: Speed Limits
September 15, 2005 at 6:00 p.m.
Anthem Center — Hanneman Hall 

Representatives from the Sun City Anthem Board requested that the City of Henderson reduce the speed limit on Anthem Parkway and Sun City Anthem Drive ('Anthem Loop') from 45 mph to 35 mph.

It was stated that the reduction was necessary due to a higher number of elderly drivers, improved safety for egress from adjacent subdivisions, an anticipated reduction in accidents, and other considerations. The City's Citizens Traffic Advisory Board (CTAB) deliberated the issue earlier this spring at a public hearing and voted to lower the speed.

Based on the limited attendance at the meeting, City staff was concerned that not all residents would be in favor of the reduced speed once it was posted and therefore, proposed a 90-day trial period which began May 2, 2005. The City will forward the speed limit issue along with a compilation of the survey results and comments received, back to the CTAB for evaluation. The CTAB meeting is open to the public.

A Change of note!
