The speed limit change comes after city staff received concerns about traffic speed and pedestrian safety, City Engineer Emily Truman told the council.
Truman said intersections at Plano Lane and Sonny Drive, where there are crosswalks but no signalization, were of particular concern.
The previous 45 mph speed limit was instituted when the road was built, according to agenda documents. Since the road was built, new developments, including a residential subdivision, commercial projects, multifamily projects, new crosswalks and more have been added to the area.
The new developments added components to North Lakeline Boulevard and made a 45 mph speed limit unsafe, according to the documents.
It will cost around $200 to install new speed signs, according to the documents.
