City administration is proposing to reduce the speed limits on downtown streets as a means of increasing driver and pedestrian safety.
The proposal calls for reducing the speed limit on Second and Fourth avenues from 50 kilometres an hour to 40 km/h, and on all sidestreets from 50 km/h to 30 km/h.
The proposal will be presented to city council early in the new year.
If approved by council, the new speed limits would be implemented next spring, Stefan Baer of the city’s engineering department explained during a media briefing Friday.
More than half of the crashes downtown from 2012 to 2018 occurred on Second and Fourth, says a presentation prepared for the briefing.
