The speed limit on Chapel Hill Boulevard was approved to change to 40 mph at the City Council regular meeting Spt. 23.

The street has previously been set at 30 mph, and the change is effective for the portion of Chapel Hill Boulevard from Plano Parkway to the Dallas Parkway northbound frontage road. This is the portion of road that follows the north side of the Shops at Willow Bend.

This change was approved as part of the consent agenda for the regular meeting and was recommended by the Traffic Engineering Division of the city of Plano based on the outcomes of a speed zone study.

This change is expected to affect the amount of revenue the city receives from speeding fines.
