If we're just talking about Westmount to Fischer-Hallman, then, I'm not sure how much sense it would make to impose higher-than-necessary speed limits on all residential streets to preserve those speeds on one stretch of street less than two kilometres in length.
That would be absurd, and I did not and would never suggest that. Whether the best fix is to have a specific speed limit on that road segment or to re-classify it properly I cannot say.
I agree that setting a lower limit on actual local residential streets is a very reasonable thing to do. But not if it means that misclassified streets get caught up in a general rule that people then insist on applying everywhere, even where plainly inappropriate.
