Update on Reduced Residential Speed Limits

On July 18, 2012, Winnipeg City Council asked staff for a report on reducing residential speed limits to 40 km/hr. Last Friday, January 11^th, the City of Winnipeg’s Infrastructure Renewal and Public Works Committee considered a report on this motion from the City Administration recommending that the residential speed limit NOT be lowered to 40 km/h and concurred with the administrations recommendation to NOT reduce the residential speed limit. Bike to the Future spoke in favour of the motion. In fact, We strongly recommend that the City set a 30 kph speed limit on residential streets, unless otherwise posted. Please read BttF`s statement in support of the motion for reduced residential speed limits, and our criticism of the report that recommended against this motion.
