CORTLAND, NY (CortacaToday) — Speed reduction is possible in Cortland. 

Mayor Scott Steve says the city is looking at lowering the speed on part of Route 281. 

On that stretch, Steve says drivers tend to speed which makes it unsafe.

The reduction requires approval from the New York State Department of Transportation. If approved, the speed limit on that portion of Route 281 would be lowered to 35 miles an hour.
