And for the record, I believe a blanket 30kph speed limit in a community is crap - there are other solutions which should be used.
I wouldn't have minded a spur to destroy that neighbourhood. It could connect to Crowchild even for the drivers out there!

Seriously though, I do agree: I am against blanket bans. I would support 40km/hr on most roads though, unless they have the capacity for 50km/h. The difference in survivability rates of a pedestrian strike between 40 and 50 is enough that all high-traffic pedestrian areas should never be more than 40 unless extraordinary alternative safety measures and design are used.
