Reid Says Speed Limit Changes Require The Province

Lower speeds on streets like Main Street or the Causeway might appeal to pedestrians and cyclists....but according to Police Chief Bill Reid they also pose a number of legislative challenges.

He says you have to get provincial folks on side and everything comes with a strategy but there is nothing wrong with moving forward.

Reid says when such motions have been brought before council in the past the province has objected due to concerns about congestion and slower commutes.
