It is likely that a request to drop the speed limit on Lido Plage Road will be the first time the Cartier council uses its newly granted municipal power to change speed limits on municipal roads.<\/p>\n

The provincial government gave Manitoba municipalities the ability to set speed limits on municipal roads without having to get provincial approval through the Traffic and Transportation Modernization Act that came into force on March 1, 2019. The province retains authority for all provincial roads.<\/p>\n

Cartier council received a petition signed by members of 25 households located along Lido Plage Road asking for the current speed zone of 80 kilometres\/hour to be reduced to 50. Denis Morin, who lives at 3331 Lido Plage Rd., circulated the petition, and said there are also a few residents who are in favour of reducing the speed limit but have suggested that it be 60, rather than 50 km\/h.<\/p>\n

Andrea Geary\nLido Plage resident Julia Bergman is shown standing next to a section of Lido Plage Road that now has an 80 kilometre per hour speed limit. Due to concern over pedestrian, cyclist and wildlife safety, Bergman and other Lido Plage residents are asking the Cartier council to decrease the speed limit to 50 kilometres per hour.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n

“We want 50,” Morin said, adding that the road has curves that make it hard for drivers to see pedestrians, cyclists or wildlife ahead on the road.<\/p>\n

“There’s no shoulder and it’s quite dangerous,” said Lido Plage resident Greg Pool, who also attended the July 22 council meeting.<\/p>\n

Because the process to make changes on a municipal road is a new one, reeve Dale Fossay said council and Cartier administrators will go over the paperwork and likely have a resolution ready to vote on at council’s next meeting on Aug. 20.<\/p>\n

“I think there’s support (for decreasing the speed limit), but we just want to get it right.” Fossay said.<\/p>\n
