While we have made significant strides over the past few years towards making our streets safer for all road users, through speed limit reductions and traffic calming measures, my office in partnership with community stakeholders continues to identify and assess new opportunities to improve safety. Reducing the speed limit along this stretch will have a positive impact for thousands of residents, and many parents walking their children to and from school.
