As the city filed it
This staff report is about speed limit reductions for which Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City policy or by-laws. The Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy focuses on how higher speeds contribute to higher risk of serious injuries and fatalities, and that setting lower speed limits is a key tool for reducing operating speeds on Toronto's roadways.

The Vision Zero Speed Management Strategy includes a program for reducing speed limits on local roads, as defined in the City's Road Classification System and public lanes or public alleys, to 30 km/h on a neighbourhood basis. With this approach the City is no longer required to sign every individual street within that designated area but only the entry and exit points to/from the designated area where speed limits change and any internal roads with a different speed limit. The purpose of this report is to recommend area-based speed limit reductions to 30 km/h on public lanes or public alleys and local roads in Scarborough Community Council area as part of the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy.
