Nice to see this move along and I imagine the pedestrian crossing is a possibility but I but I can think of few more politicized patches of road than Aberdeen between Longwood and Queen. No idea what the need limit is there but if it's like most of the city it's probably 50kmh; cutting that to 40kmh would create a more easy-going pedestrian environment but wouldn't ease volume: Aberdeen's a collector road at heart, and that's part of the problem. If we had more collector roads we would see reduced volume – but of course that means that we would need more onramps. Lowering speed limit without having more collector roads brings the potential for another round of petitions aimed at alleviating Kirkendall gridlock.
