flag Stratford revisits lowering residential speed limits to 40 km/h for safety, two years after rejecting the plan.

flag Stratford city council is reconsidering a 2023 staff report that recommended lowering residential speed limits from 50 km/h to 40 km/h, prompted by a petition from the environmental group Climate Momentum and a council motion to end the discussion. flag The proposal, first raised in 2021, aims to improve pedestrian safety, with staff noting survival rates in collisions could rise from 40% to 75% at the lower speed. flag A 2023 survey showed mixed public support, with 38% in favor and 50% opposed, largely due to concerns about enforcement. flag The city’s infrastructure director said the report’s return stems from renewed public and council interest, though no decision has been made. flag Implementing the change two years ago would have cost $235,000 for 220 new signs.
