Edmonton could see hundreds of playground speed limits by year end

City councillors backed an aggressive rollout of hundreds of new playground-related speed limits Thursday, asking city officials to have them in place by the end of this year.
The move will still need support from all of council in September, but the new 30-km/h zones could even apply to empty stormwater facilities where children play. 
“This is the next step forward,” said Ward 2 Coun. Bev Esslinger. “If it’s a life, can you put a cost to it?”
