Citywide Speed Limits and Street Safety
Summary
A staff evaluation found the 2021 speed limit cuts didn't slow drivers down — speeds actually rose — and crashes involving pedestrians and cyclists more than doubled. A resident urged the council to pump more money into the PACS safety fund, which currently funds about $20,000 a year.

Impact analysis
Speed-limit implementation cost about $12,000; the real question is whether the ~$20,000/year PACS allocation gets a boost.
Walkers, kids, seniors, and cyclists if the council boosts safety funding.
Vulnerable road users are currently absorbing a doubling of serious crashes.
