Silver Spur Road near Hawthorn e Boulevard
Heading North on Silver Spur (it is a slight uphill) Speed Zone Study is inadmissible due to inaccuracies in the description of the road: It states that there is moderate pedestrian traffic on both sides as well as businesses on both sidees.
Fact: The North side of Silver Spur, a four lane divided highway, with an 85 percentile speed of 44 mph, is posted at 35 mph. Reasons given for this low speed posting are: pedestrian traffic and businesses. The North side of Silver Spur has three large office buildings that back up against a steep rise. Parking lots are in the rear. A small restaurant and a small garden nursery are off a "service road" parallel to Silver Spur, widening this road to 6 lanes, twice divided, at this location.
Proximity to high school is also mentioned. Students have no reason to walk on Silver Spur since more direct access to the homes high above is via Silver Arrow.
