Title: DEPUTATION BY CATHY COLEBATCH REGARDING MOTION 21-G-164, SPEED LIMIT ON LAKESHORE DRIVE BETWEEN SIMCOE STREET AND TIFFIN STREET (WARD 2) Cathy Colebatch advised she supports the motion and suggested including the portion of Lakeshore Drive up to Minet's Point. Ms. Colebatch expressed concerns related to the speed, safety and noise from vehicles and motorcycles that travel along Lakeshore Drive and the impact on local residents and beachgoers. She explained the noise from vehicles and festivals along the waterfront and as far away as Meridian Place, echoes across Kempenfelt Bay into Ward 8. She advised there have been large groups of motorcyclists speeding through the intersection at the corner Bayview Drive and Cumberland Drive from Milburn Street. She noted the City needs to consider changes to the speed limit or consider implementing traffic enforcement along the waterfront as a regular routine.
