Excerpt from CBC Article:
"In a move that has shocked Edmontonians, Edmonton City Council has doubled down on it's Vision Zero Initiative by reducing the recently changed Residential Speed Limits from 40 km/h, to 20 km/h.
Mayor Sohi spoke with CBC Journalist Alex Jones on the matter Friday afternoon: "We believe that this move is the next logical step in providing a safe space for pedestrians on our streets. By allowing vehicles, cyclists, and joggers to share the same speed of travel, we ensure that no more vehicular related incidents will happen in the city. This is indeed a triumph for our Councilors, and we should applaud their hard work on fostering and encouraging a stronger safety culture on city streets."
Mayor Sohi answered questions regarding the funding of new signage, after having recently implemented reductions across the city. CBC was told that albeit speed limit changes will be implemented as of April 30, 2022, signage will be changed over the course of the next two years as funding allows.
Mayor Sohi also stated that funding for new automated enforcement booths has come available, and will be dispatched within all communities over the coming weeks."
