On the agenda

As the city filed it

Residents contacted my office seeking to better protect vulnerable road users on streets within the Silverthorn neighborhood area, where the speed limit is currently either 40km/h or 50km/h on area streets. Vision Zero 2.0 will eventually lower the speed limit on all local streets to 30 km/h, however implementation is planned on a ward-by-ward basis over five years starting in 2021. Area residents, including parents at the nearby General Mercer Junior Public School, requested that action be taken immediately.
