An update from Anna Hopkins Our Ward 9 City Councillor
Safety on Our Streets Having lived in the Byron area for over 35 years, I’ve seen firsthand how our streets have changed with increasing traffic. As new developments continue in Riverbend and Lambeth and existing neighbourhoods become more densely populated, traffic concerns will only grow. Speeding, cut-through traffic, failure to stop at stop signs, and the need for safer ways to move around our neighbourhoods are ongoing concerns I hear from Ward 9 residents. Ensuring safer streets is a shared responsibility—one that involves residents, local organizations, and all levels of government working together. The City of London is committed to improving road safety through its Vision Zero strategy, which aims to eliminate traffic- related deaths and serious injuries while promoting safe and accessible mobility for all. Some key initiatives include: · Respect the Limit Signs · Pedestrian Crossovers To further enhance safety, area speed limits in our neigh- bourhoods have been reduced to 40 km/h. Master Mobility Plan & Ward 9 Information Session The City of London is developing a Master Mobility Plan (MMP), which is expected to be approved this summer. I will be hosting an Information Session to discuss the updated plan and other Ward 9 issues: Wednesday, April 16th 6:00 – 8:00 PM L’Arche London, 4448 Colonel Talbot Rd., Lambeth I encourage you to attend and share your thoughts. · Active & Safe Routes to School · Automated Speed Enforcement · Protected Intersections & Bike Lanes · Red Light Cameras · Roundabouts
As a Candidate for Ward 9 in this year ’ s M will be a number of conversations that I wil constituents.
