I've said it before, the speed limit increase from 50 to 60 at Allen northbound on Weber (when drivers are already naturally going faster down the long hill) makes no sense coming into a high pedestrian stretch. You could probably make a case that Weber should be 50 from Lobsinger or Northfield south.
Similar high pedestrian stretches of University, King, Columbia, Erb, Victoria, etc. have their limits lowered to 50.
If you map the speed limits Weber stands out as an anomaly as there are basically no streets in the area bordered by Westmount, Columbia, the expresway, and Fairway with limits higher than 50.
Here is a quick map using data from the Open Data portal where green = <60, orange = 60, red = >60:

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
