It’s frustrating that the trends are concerning, but there’s not a lot of information on what they should do about it, said Coun. Sam Austin (Dartmouth Centre).

Vision Zero would like a word. If we can't rely on cops to enforce speeding on our roads, then the roads should be designed to enforce it themselves. Narrowing streets, making them curvier, daylighting intersections, lowering speeds, modal filters is what they should do. Prioritizing funding for cycling upgrades and enhanced public transit so that people that shouldn't be in a car don't need to be.
