(Dover, DE) -- City officials in Dover are supporting an effort to lower the speed limit on Delaware 8 from Artis Drive to Dover High School. Earlier this week, the Utility Committee unanimously approved an official request and resolution to be sent to DelDOT. That request is asking to lower the speed limit from 50-miles per hour to 35. The initial request was proposed by those behind the 37-thousand square foot Calvary Baptist Church being built west of the high school. Officials say DelDOT may have to improve the roadway to state highway standards in order to change the limit.
