Jim Jackson, who lives in Everett’s Lowell neighborhood, wonders why a speed limit sign was moved approximately one-half mile on Lowell Snohomish River Road over the summer. “Why would they spend money to move signs that don’t need to be moved?”
Others have wondered about this, too.
File this one as a correction.
“We recently discovered the ‘Welcome to Everett’ and speed limit signs on Lowell Snohomish River Road were not actually located at the city limits,” said Marla Carter of the city’s Public Works Department. “We relocated them to the correct position where you see them now. The speed limit on that road was set by City Council action some years ago and extends to the city limits.”
