(Portland, OR) -- The Portland City Council is slated to vote tomorrow on a proposal to declare a safety emergency and lower the maximum speed on outer Southeast Division. Council members are considering the action after a spike in the number of traffic-related deaths in the area. The council will decide whether to lower the speed limit from 35 to 30 miles per hour along the four-and-a-half-mile stretch of Division from 82nd Avenue to the city limits.
