Origin
Summary
Avonwick Gate is a local road in the Parkwoods area of Ward 16 where the speed limits are inconsistent. A section of the road from Cassandra Boulevard to Rustywood Drive is 40 kilometres per hour, while the remaining stretch from Rustywood Drive to Bevridge Drive / Mission Drive is 50 kilometres per hour.
Several residents have approached me requesting the speed limit become consistent for the whole road, making all of Avonwick Gate 40 kilometres per hour. Reasons for implementing a speed change include:
- The desire to reduce vehicle operating speed and improve pedestrian safety.
- The need for a consistent posted speed limit in proximity of Annunciation Catholic School located at 65 Avonwick Gate, where the current speed limit is currently 40 kilometres per hour.
