Summary

The listed streets are local residential roads where residents have raised concerns about speeding, road safety, and the need for safer neighbourhood conditions. Through consultation and flyer drops conducted by the Councillor’s office in the surrounding area, residents expressed support for measures that would help reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety.

 

The proposed 30 km/h speed limit designation is intended to create a calmer and safer street environment for residents, pedestrians, cyclists, children, seniors, and all road users travelling through the neighbourhood.
