The City is another step closer to changing the school zone speed limits.
With 6 councillors voting in favour and 3 opposed, the second reading of the amended by-law was passed during Monday’s meeting.
The amendment would see Thompson Drive at RD Parker go back to 50km/hr at all times, and elementary school zones at 30km/hr, with the time restriction of 8am-5pm, Monday to Friday, September to June applied.
At the beginning of the meeting, parents, teachers and students asked council to make the speed limit at Thompson Drive in front of RD Parker the same as the elementary schools, but a motion to do so, didn’t pass.
The next meeting of council is on the 17th, during which time the third reading will take place.
