Update:

SDOT spokesperson Paul Elliott says they do not expect to re-evaluate the speed limit till next year. From his reply to me:

“As to your … question about when the City Traffic Engineer will be evaluating the speed limit on the (Spokane Street Viaduct), he expects this to happen in the spring. We need normalized operating speeds along with some collision data (of which we currently have little). The spring timeframe will give us about six months of baseline collision data, with which to better assess the safety impacts of any change in the speed limit.”
