Phase 2 of the Reduced-Speed Neighbourhood Pilot is underway, and we want to hear from you!
How do you feel about reduced speed limits in residential areas? Share your thoughts through an online survey before November 7, 2023. This survey is also available in French/Ce sondage est également disponible en français.
This survey is open to both residents of pilot neighbourhoods and Winnipeggers who live outside the pilot areas. Your answers will help us understand pilot residents’ experience with the speed limit change and broader perspectives on speed limits in general.
We are also holding a series of discussion forums in the new year. We will hold one event in each pilot neighbourhood and hope you will join us to learn more about the project and talk about your experiences, expectations, and opinions.

Phase 1 public engagement summary is now available
Thank you to all pilot neighbourhood residents who participated in Phase 1 pre-pilot engagement. This phase included school travel surveys, meetings with project stakeholders, and an online survey for pilot residents who live on a street where the speed limit has changed. The Phase 1 public engagement summary and appendices are now available and provide an overview of the feedback collected for the project.
The feedback we gathered during this phase told us about how people in the pilot communities feel about safety, comfort, local travel mode choice, and how to define livability. A citywide scientific survey also provided insight into Winnipeggers’ feelings about speed limits.
This pre-pilot research told us that, at the time, 60 percent of Winnipeggers wanted to keep residential speed limits the same and 40 percent wanted lower residential speed limits.
The full report is available under the documents tab.
