SUBJECT: “Please Slow Down” Lawn Sign Pilot Program
Please be advised that Administration will be launching a pilot program of “Please Slow Down” lawn signs. This program aims to:
Increase driver awareness of the safety risks associated with speeding,
Provide an option for residents whose requests for traffic calming were determined to be ineligible for traffic calming under the Traffic Calming Policy, and
Provide an option for residents with open traffic calming requests while their requests are reviewed and, if successful, addressed with permanent traffic calming measures.
The sign design is shown in the figure below.
These signs will be available for purchase at 1266 McDougall Avenue, 2450 McDougall Avenue, or by appointment at the Development Services counter on the second floor of 350 City Hall Square West. 500 signs have been created for the pilot program.
