Summary

Broadlands Boulevard is a local road in the O’Connor Hills area of Ward 16. It runs from Underhill Drive to Clintwood Gate in the north. The current posted speed limit is 50 kilometres per hour.


Several residents have approached me requesting that the speed limit be reduced from the posted 50 kilomentres to 40 kilometres for the entire length of the road. Reasons for implementing a speed change include:

 

- Desire to reduce vehicle operating speeds and improve pedestrian safety;


- Need to be consistent with posted speed limit in proximity of Broadlands Public School which is located on Broadlands Boulevard and where the speed limit is currently posted at 40 kilometres.
