Will the speed limits change on Crowfoot to Founders?

Posted speed limits on a given roadway are set based on engineering studies and/or roadway design criteria. A speed study was done on Crowfoot Valley Road a few years ago. The speed limit within Town limits was reduced to 40 mph in the summer of 2021. The currently posted speeds on the roadway today are supported by the data collected during that speed study. As such, the speed limits will not change.
