This whole polling thing is ridiculous. If there was a poll to raise the speed limit in residential zones to 60. It would probably get an equal objection. 50 is just considered good because it is what we have.
The real work that should be being done is evaluating and calculating the probability of injuries and fatalities before and after this measure based on best available data, evaluate the cost of those fatalities and injuries and compare that to the lost time from people slowing down.
If its a net good its a net good. No consultation should be done, only explanation.

Look I’m an advocate if it makes sense. My initial inclination was anecdotal.
But if I, like the majority haven’t seen the COMPELLING detailed reasoning—- wel that’s where the bolded comes into play— the city hasn’t done the real work.
Just used headline grabbing “OMG THINK OF THE CHILDREN” & “save $250k”
How? Detail it. Show intimate case studies.
