The cost of implementing any specific option is not yet known but the city hopes reducing the number of collisions will actually save money in the long run. The city said around 35,000 collisions occur in Calgary every year, approximately 10,000 of which happen in residential neighbourhoods.
In 2018, collisions cost the Calgary economy $1.19 billion.
A city report also suggests a blanket speed limit of 30 km/h would result in 10 to 20 per cent fewer residential road collisions.

Let's try something...everybody repeat after me: "Hey Google what is 10% of 1.2 billion dollars per year" (Hint, it's 120 million)
While I'm not thrilled with the idea of having to drive 30km/h on residential/collector roads, if it saves lives and $120 million a year (low end), who am I to complain about my right to drive a car as fast as I want to on residential streets?

The things our Council gets itself occupied these days suggest that they have nothing better to do. Who, other than Farrell has ever had a problem with 50km/h???

Maybe one of the 10,000 people involved in collisions on a residential road each year would have an opinion.
