MEMORANDUM

Deputy City Engineer
Mary Hall Road - Speed Linoit

518 :

That the speed limit on Mary Hill Road between Easter Drive and the Mary Hill
Bypass be increased to 60 km/h. |

Construction of Mary Hill Road between Eastem Drive and Mary Hill Bypass was
fully completed in the Spring of 1991. At that time we approached the Public Works Committee
to have the speed limit posted at 60 km/h but Committee directed that it remain at 50 km/h until
other sections of Mary Hill Road were upgraded. a a

Again I am asking for Committee’s consideration of increasing the speed limit to
60 km/h. The road has a design speed of 60 km/h and is a four lane arterial street. Because of
these characteristics, drivers find it very frustrating to only drive 50 km/h on this type of
roadway. Certainly elsewhere in the City we have roads leading from the Mary Hill Bypass (ie.
Kingsway) which start at 60 km/h and then decrease to 50 km/h as you get closer to the City
centre. — : | | | -
