Reduce speed limit on Corbett Canyon Road — it isn’t a highway

Last week’s tragic, fatal bicycle accident on Corbett Canyon Road should never have happened. Corbett Canyon is a through road, not a highway. We have people taking kids to school, bikes riding every morning, walkers getting their morning on. Why is the speed limit 55 mph? It’s insane. This road is used by so many different groups, bring the speed limit down, it’s just not a safe place for anyone now. I’m so, so sorry for all involved in this very sad accident. Didn’t need to happen.
