    This is a policy direction that was adopted in the 1997 Transportation Plan. Staff have since been in discussion with provincial officials about legislative changes to support municipal control over blanket speed limits. Unfortunately those changes have not yet been adopted by the province.

    Diesel buses on routes that have electric trolley wires are bad in two ways. Most obvious is the noise level when they are in a hurry. If you are talking on the sidewalk, you cannot be heard even if you yell. Secondly, and more importantly, there may be no carbon advantage to buses over cars. If the average passenger load over a days' run is 20, then for a 20-ton bus, each passenger is serviced by 2000 lbs of diesel bus. An individual car is much cleaner. I vote we go with e-buses and e-cars !
