[Policy] BW Policy Committee Meeting Monday August 29

[Mark Cohoe]

Hi,

Great work on the policy front everyone.

A couple of suggestions on the traffic calming/speed limit policy.


   1. Refer to traffic calmed streets as neighbourhood greenways sometimes
   called bike boulevards)
   2. In line with principles of Vision Zero, neighbourhood greenweys
   should also be designed/retrofitted to a design speed of 30km/hr
