Proposed Approach to Lowering Speed Limits

Option 3: City-wide Implementation - Gateway Signs (Recommended) Similar to Option 2, this approach involves city-wide implementation of 30 km/h speed zones in the proposed residential neighbourhoods. However, this option would install signs at key locations to inform drivers. The total number of signs would be reduced compared to Option 2 through placement where drivers enter local roads from arterials. On this basis, approximately 700 new signs (approximately 15 per neighbourhood) would be required. School zones within these areas would also have 30 km/h signs. This option balances the number of signs to raise public awareness of the 30 km/h speed limit within a neighbourhood while maintaining the public realm objectives. The cost for this option is approximately $175,000, which can be funded from the Council approved 2026 Traffic Calming Program. Staff would bring forward the associated bylaw amendments for Council consideration and the anticipated timeframe to implement the new signs is three months following bylaw adoption.
