Which action would you be most likely to advocate for to improve street safety?
Taproot Survey
Where do you stand on issues raised by voters in the 2025 municipal election?
Context:
In 2015, Edmonton became the first Canadian city to adopt Vision Zero, and during the last council it reduced the base speed limit from 50km/h to 40km/h to increase the likelihood that someone hit by a driver lives. During this council, the city's Street Labs division has worked with numerous neighbourhoods to install measures that calm driver speeds in an attempt to make streets safer for people not in cars. This council has also recently approved updates to its Complete Streets policy. The policy is foundational, meaning it guides basic design and construction of street infrastructure.
