40 km/hr to make our streets safer

Starting this summer, the speed limit will be 40 km/h on most residential and downtown streets. “Safe and livable streets help us reach Edmonton’s goal of Vision Zero — to eliminate serious injuries and fatalities on our streets by 2032,” said Jessica Lamarre, Director of Safe Mobility. “The 40km/h default speed limit is critical to achieving Vision Zero and helps us make our streets calmer, quieter, and more enjoyable at the same time. Slowing down gives us more time to react to the unexpected, reduces unnecessary tragedies on our roads, and has very little impact on travel times. Thank you to everyone for supporting this change and doing your part to make our streets safer for everyone.”

To help Edmontonians become aware of the change and adjust their behaviours, an extensive public education campaign and activities will begin at least one month in advance of the effective date. This date will be announced in July.

People seeking more information about the speed limit reduction project can visit edmonton.ca/SafeSpeeds, which features the following resources to help answer most questions people may have about lower speed limits:

• Look-up which roads will have the new speed limit of 40km/h using an interactive map.
• Use an Estimated Time of Arrival Tool to estimate the change in arrival times the new speed limit will have.
• Find answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

Learning from One Other: Lendrum Community Information & Activity Sessions

Lendrum has an abundance of talented and knowledge residents. The LCL would like to hold regular community information/activity sessions on a variety of topics. Our goal is that each presenter will be someone from our very own community. If you have special knowledge on or a passion for a specific topic/activity (finances, health and wellness topics, hobbies, recreational activities etc.) and would like to share this with our community in an information session, contact our Abundant Community Lendrum and Age-Friendly Lendrum Coordinator, Lisa Vaughn, at 780-918-6678 or email seniors@lendrum.org to indicate your interest.
