As a reminder to our readers, the speed limit on the stretch of road between Vine Street (at “the archway”) and John Young Parkway will be reduced to 25 mph, on Main Street to Broadway to Emmett Street.
While the speed limit was 25 on the Broadway portion between Neptune Road and Ruby Street, it will be lowered from 40 on Main and 35 on Emmett.
As the city will soon be embarking on its Connect Kissimmee Project—which includes improving intersections along Broadway with raised tabletop pavement and a roundabout at Ruby/ Stewart Avenue, Deputy Austin Blake said having a uniform speed limit now provides time for outreach.
The change was announced back on Feb. 17.
“We want to encourage those who want to be downtown," Blake said. "We’ve cleared it with the (Department of Transportation) that we have local control over the road.”
