The Fayetteville City Council on Sept. 15 will hear a proposal that would reduce the speed limit on Beauregard Avenue and South Jeff Davis Drive. The council will also hear proposals on extending the moratorium on sweepstakes Internet cafes and on minor changes to the precious metals sales ordinance.
Council members will hear the first reading of a proposal to lower the speed limit from 45 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour on Beauregard Boulevard from South Glynn Street to Ramah Road and on South Jeff Davis beginning at the city limits. The proposal also looks to continue the expanded the school zone along Grady Avenue.
Police Chief Steve Heaton said the proposals followed a recent speed limit review that was conducted as a result of changes and upgrades made to the roadways.
Also on the agenda: The council will hear the second reading of a measure that would extend the moratorium on sweepstakes Internet cafes that was adopted in March. The proposal would extend the moratorium until July 1 to allow enough time for the Georgia General Assembly to address the issue and for any new law to become effective.
The council will also hear the first reading of an amendment to the precious metals ordinance the would clarify the methods of paying and collection of fees.
