Not surprising. This started out as pedestrian safety, but the numbers don't make sense in terms of cost benefit, because Calgary doesn't have a problem with pedestrian involved collisions or pedestrians being killed on residential roads. Once that became obvious, it switched to include absolutely everything. The fact that they lump fatal and injury collisions into one bucket shows they don't want accurate figures out there.
Council has already decided what the plan is. They'll do their consultation, release the results and then say that they studied the issue and while they thank Calgarians for their input, the best solution is the one they want. The fact that council is even entertaining allowing transit and bylaw to do speed enforcement shows where this is likely heading.
