(KLZA)--Falls City Council members voted to leave the speed limit on 35th Street between Highway 73 and McLean Street and McLean Street from 28th to 35th Street at 25 miles per hour when they met Monday night.

A large contingent of people living in the area attended the meeting. Speeding on the gravel streets has been an issue before the Council for several months.

City Administrator Anthony Nussbaum presented information from Olsson Engineers who conducted a review of the area.

The report noted that if 35th Street was to be constructed new now, the recommendation would be for a 40 mile per hour speed limit.

Audience members were strongly against the possibility of having the speed limit on 35th street set at 40 miles per hour.

The Council also approved a request to restrict street parking on the 2400 and 2500 blocks of Chase Street, 25th Street from Harlan to Chase Street and 26th Street from Harlan to Chase Street which are the streets around North Elementary School.

The School District has said the restrictions would improve safety and help school buses transporting students to and from the school.
