Reduced speed limits would be the one policy tweak that is quite small in the grand scheme of things but can have drastic effects on safety. A change of speed from 50 to 30 is known to reduce pedestrian fatalities by 90%. I am glad the city is doing pilot projects in suburban neighborhoods and residential streets for starters.

I just hope at some point we look at the commercial streets with a semblance of urban fabric. Having streets such as Osborne, Broadway, or Selkirk be 30 zones would do wonders for the vitality of those streetscapes and surrounding context. Really the whole Downtown should reduce speed limits.
