What we heard

In late 2023 and early 2024, we reconnected with residents in the pilot area. We asked them to complete a second survey and join a community event in their area. We heard that:

• After the pilot project, some people felt more positive about lower speed limits. However, many people did not change their opinion.
• Concern about speeding has not changed much, but more residents are willing to accept a small increase in travel time to support lower speed limits.
• More than half of Winnipeggers support lowering residential speed limits in general.
• Forty-eight percent of people who live in the pilot area either:
  • Do not support lowering residential speed limits, or
  • Support it less than they did before the pilot project.

Next steps

An administrative report will be presented to the Standing Policy Committee on Public Works on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. The report recommends that Council request that the Province of Manitoba amend The Highway Traffic Act to allow the City of Winnipeg to set the default speed limit through a by-law.

The meeting will also be streamed live on the City’s YouTube channel.
