Solomon Dubie owns the Cafe Avole on Rainier Avenue South. He has plenty of room to put out some tables and chairs on the sidewalk, but he says he's too worried about the cars speeding by.

"It's an issue because this almost feels as if it's a highway right here when you got cars going 50 miles an hour," he said. "It just doesn't feel very safe."

The cafe is right across the street from one of the first 25-mph speed limit signs on Rainier, often called the city's most dangerous street for pedestrians.

On Tuesday Mayor Jenny Durkan announced arterial roads like this across the city will see a speed reduction to 25 miles per hour.
