Narrowing lanes on 7th Street did not slow traffic

Here's the report that shows it didn't make any difference to traffic speeds. I guess the speed boost of not having stop signs ouweighs the narrower lanes.

"The measured average speed in this area is 27mph with an eighty-fifth percentile speed of nearly 32mph. The measured speeds are higher than desired and suggest the majority of drivers are comfortable driving in 10’ wide travel lanes"
