This actually made me email my councilor today. They had already voted no to the consultation previously.
When this originally came out and I looked at the data of where accidents happen, there were so few of them that were in areas that would actually have the limits reduced. In my community and the 3 adjacent ones, if I remmber correctly, one pedestrian/vehicle accident in the previous 3 years. The solution they are proposing doesnt solve the problem.
Trying instead for targeted speed reductions at high incident locations. Combined with traffic calming in the same general area perhaps. As opposed to this ridiculous city wide blanket proposal.
