Road design, safety and Vision Zero

[tomh009]

I suspect it's even more problematic if you look at the relative wealth of people in Ward 7 vs. other wards, vs. where people from Ward 7 drive vs. others. Probably you're going to see that wealthy people are allowed to speed through poorer neighbourhoods. Not as a rule, but on average, I'm betting that's how it works out.

I don't understand this argument. You point out (I think) that ward 7 residents have higher incomes, on average, than the rest of the city. OK, fine that may be true. And they should drive at 30 km/h in their local neighbourhood, whereas other wards' residents will drive at 40 km/h in their local areas.

So, your issue is that the people from the 30 km/h neighbourhood can drive (speed through!) at 40 km/h in other neighbourhoods? Are you suggesting that they should drive at 30 km/h (because of higher average incomes in ward 7) regardless of whatever area they are in? Or something else?

(In any case, I believe property prices are higher in Beechwood, Laurelwood and Colonial Acres, at least.)
