As part of what it calls a “Vision Zero” approach to road safety, the City of Regina is hoping to reduce the number of collisions resulting in major injuries or fatalities on roadways throughout the city and one way to do that may be through reduced speed limits in some areas.
Similar programs have already been implemented in other cities around the world including Edmonton, Alta., Warsaw, Poland and the entire country of Sweden.
Cathedral area resident, Nicole Standlund told city executive committee Wednesday there is a lot to love about the neighbourhood.
“The beauty of [Cathedral] and the reason why many chose to live here is the walkability of the neighbourhood,” she said. “In terms of good urban design, there’s a lot this neighbourhood got right.”
Cathedral features many local small businesses as well as access to bigger grocery stores and other services within close proximity to a large number of Regina’s residents.
However, Standlund believes there are some things that make the area less safe for pedestrians.
