Origin
Summary
This proposed motion is intended to address safety concerns for all road users, particularly children, families, and seniors who live, walk, and travel along Sloley Road. Sloley Road is a key access route for students attending Fairmount Public School, and residents have reported concerns about vehicle speeds and cut-through traffic on this corridor. The surrounding neighborhood is home to many school-aged children and vulnerable road users who rely on safe, comfortable conditions for walking, cycling, and accessing transit. Reducing the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h is consistent with the City’s Vision Zero road safety objectives and will help calm traffic, reduce the risk and severity of collisions, and create a safer environment for students and community members travelling to and from Fairmount Public School.
