On the agenda

As the city filed it

Residents contacted my office seeking to better protect vulnerable road users along Peterborough Avenue where the statutory, unsigned speed limit is currently 50km/h. With Loretto College and Regal Road Junior Public Schools nearby, area youth are frequently crossing Peterborough Avenue and so are neighbourhood children. Vision Zero 2.0 will eventually lower the speed limit on all local residential roads to 30 km/h, however implementation is planned on a ward-by-ward basis over five years starting in 2021.
