A petition has been started by Leaside resident Judy Weiss in an effort to persuade City Council to restore the 60 km/h speed limit to the Bayview Extension south of Pottery Road to the end of the extension. Weiss asks members of Leaside Community to sign the petition, which will be sent to Ward 22 Councillor Josh Matlow. Weiss says that she has never initiated a petition before but hopes that it is done correctly. The petition is here.
LIVELY DISCUSSION
The post has started a lively discussion on the Facebook account Leaside Community with many residents saying they have signed. Others don’t agree. One woman who said she didn’t drive but asked why the limit needed to be increased was told “If you don’t drive then keep scrolling and don’t worry about it.” She replied: “I’m not worried, just nosey. Give an old woman a break.” There are dozens of responses in less than two days. Leaside Community
