I'm fully for this. The survival rate for pedestrian - vehicular incidents is 90% at 30 km/h. It's a no brainer for me.

How many deaths a year occur in Calgary in residential zones on non-collectors? How many of those deaths were in accidents where people were doing less than 60?
Have other jurisdictions shown this to be effective?
If this costs each Calgarian 1 minute per day Calgary loses 700 person years of life per year so is roughly equal to killing 5-10 people so this initiative needs to save that many lives to break even assuming we value a fraction of a life in the same manner as a whole life.
