30 km/h limit: Alternate reduction idea is used in Winnipeg

30-sepia

Those pushing for a 30 km/h speed limit on residential streets in Ward 22 and Leaside may wish to know about the seasonal (and time of day) speed reductions in Winnipeg. This week the local police outside schools are issuing dozens of tickets a day between 7 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. The program is in effect between October and June. Last year Winnipeg police issued more than 40,000 tickets. Here in Toronto, the Toronto and East York Council (which includes Ward 22) has voted to lower the residential limit to 30 from 40 km/h And Councilor Jon Burnside has told The South Bayview Bulldog that he will support such a change for Leaside if North York Council is in favor. But, as recorded in our story of June 23, 2015, there is more to making this a reality than just a vote at the local council.  How will NY Council (and Leaside) decide on 30 km/h
