(Portland, OR)  --  The speed limit along a stretch of Southeast Division is now lower by five miles an hour.  The Portland City Council has approved an emergency ordinance to reduce the maximum speed from 35 to 30 on Southeast Division from 82nd Avenue to Southeast 174th Avenue.  Officials say the move is in response to a rising number of traffic crashes along the stretch.  Warnings will be issued to violators for 30 days, after which fines will be assessed.
