Lower speed limit in Bonnie Doon?

10/7/2012

2 Comments

 
Council approved a Speed Reduction Policy that will allow Community Leagues to request that the City undertake a review of speed limits for residential roadways within their community, for consideration of reducing the speed limit on residential roadways within their community to 40 km/hr. Upon receipt of this request, the request will be referred to the Administration for review in accordance with City Procedures for consideration of speed reduction to 40 km/hr.
 
If it is determined, through a joint assessment of alternatives by the Administration and the Community, that use of a reduced 40 km/hr neighbourhood speed limit is appropriate; a Traffic Bylaw amendment will be prepared and brought forward to Council for approval. Prior to bringing it forward, it would need to be supported by:
  • A letter of support from the Community League
  • A recommendation of support from the Administration outlining the appropriateness of the measure and other alternatives considered
  • Evidence of community support (minimum 67%) through surveys undertaken by the Administration

This policy does not apply to arterial roadways within or on the boundary of communities (arterial roadways as defined by the Transportation System Bylaw)

This is a worthwhile proposal and should be adopted by the BDCL. I propose that a speed limit reduction application be made to the City of Edmonton.

A reduced (40 KM/h) speed limit in Bonnie Doon would definitely get my support. We have such a great walkable neighbourhood with many amenities...a slightly lower speed limit would make it nicer for walking and safer!
