Residents have the opportunity to voice their opinion about the new school zone speed limits.

The Public Safety Committee has released a survey about the school speed limits, and are asking people for their input. The City's Communications Officer, Dawn Sands,  told us why the survey was released.
 

"At the council meeting on September 9th there was a presentation from the community regarding the new school zone by-law.  From that meeting Council directed the Public Safety Committee to go back and do a review of the by-law.   Now the Public Safety Committee thought that doing a survey would be a really good opportunity for the residents."

Sands also told us why the survey focuses on the school zone in front of  R.D. Parker Collegiate.

"Based on the feedback we have received so far, before we put out the survey,  people acknowledged that there is a difference between elementary schools and high schools."

The results from the survey will be reviewed at the Public Safety Committee’s next meeting. Residents have until Friday, October 30th  to fill out the survey which can be found on the city’s website at thompson.ca.
