I am 100% for street safety and lower speed is crucial to that safety and ability to respond to road conditions and other users. But this is another Lakeview-Exceptionalism case where loud mouths go before actual need or data.
The hatred for traffic in this statement is laughable... the same person that doesn't want even the slightest bit of traffic on their street in the middle of nowhere will more than happily speed on Crowchild, 17th Ave and the inner city actually risking 100x more people than any 50 km/hr traffic in their own community ever will. NIMBYism at its finest.
Why didn't they just buy the neighbourhood and plow the ring-road through there and be done with it ? And this is coming from a SW Ring Road hater.

Because North Glenmore Park community is no where near where the ring road will be going?
And for the record, I believe a blanket 30kph speed limit in a community is crap - there are other solutions which should be used.
