The Lucas City Council approved Ordinance 2026‑09‑01055 temporarily reducing the speed limit on West Lucas Road from 50 mph to 40 mph for the duration of nearby construction activities.
Staff said the reduction was recommended to improve safety around active construction and that a later request would be brought to council to set a permanent limit (likely 45 mph) after construction. “We want to lower the speed limit from 50 to 40 during construction,” staff said during the presentation. Councilmembers noted nearby segments already drop to 45 or 40 in places, and the change would primarily require updated signage.
Councilmember motioned to approve the ordinance and the motion carried without recorded opposition.
