I never said anything about a speed limit. I'm talking about the realities of driving in other downtowns. Trying doing 55-60km on Yonge St in TO.
Any city I'm in, it seems like 35-40km is a normal downtown maximum speed. I'm often doing 25-35 in downtowns.
How would slower traffic help encourage new business??? Please. We've gone over this at length on this website. Human beings on the street spend money. Not speeding cars.
