Speed Ordinance Delayed?

Some political backlash?

  • The Chicago City Council delayed a vote to lower the city's speed limit Tuesday, after a committee approved the measure Monday.

    City Council could lower the citywide speed limit from 30 miles per hour to 25.

    The ordinance was introduced by Alderman Daniel La Spata back in July, with the backing of transit and biking advocates. He said this is all about making people safer.

    [...] Mayor Brandon Johnson said he asked La Spata to pull the legislation for now, while still expressing support for making streets safer.

"transit" exists to get people around the city faster.

"biking advocates" are lobbyists for people who don't obey a single traffic law that we've ever seen. Except in cases of "dooring," we estimate that of all the traffic accidents we handled involving a bicycle, the cyclist was 100% at fault.

Something is going on with Conehead asking for a delay though.
