To be introduced by Bill Sims, General Manager, Engineering and Public Works.

Purpose: To provide the Public Safety Committee with discussion about the application of speed zones city-wide and to provide options for reduced speed limits near elementary schools and other higher risk locations.

Presentation:

Barbara Thomas, Assistant Manager, Transportation.

Recommendation: That the Public Safety Committee recommend that Council consider adding a project in 2025 to undertake a city-wide speed zone study to review how and where speed zones below 50 km/h are applied; taking into account adjacent land use near schools and urban centres where pedestrians are expected to congregate as part of the 2025 – 2029 Financial Plan deliberations.
