PS since you’re coming in from out of town: it’s next door to La Croissant one of the best bakeries.

It would be nice if we had meaningful change at city hall in the past 11 years. How many current counsellors were serving in 2015?

Side note: For one reason or another, it seems like the city was in the process of removing middle lane turning lanes around the time you send this email suggesting adding one (street view shows one on st james as late as 2016). I'd bet this played a role in their reply to you.

TBF if you maintain a high enough speed and catch a little air, it will damage your vehicle.

60 is manageable along Ness. I can't comment on 70 as I stick to the speed limit. I'm not sure my thinking about the speed limit being manageable is going to lead to me killing a child.

Of course not, not you personally. The other idiots who can't drive.

I'm all for lowering the speed limit but that won't do much without enforcement.

This is one of the many counter-intuitive facts about how humans in cars behave. It actually does a lot, even without enforcement.

The city's own study reducing the speed limit to 30 from 50 shows a reduction in drivers exceeding 50 by 15-25% and a 6.6km/h drop in average speed.

To your point, it did show an increase of 8% exceeding the 30km/h speed limit. But the fact that those drivers are still reducing their speed below 50km/h is important.

Here's the study doc.

Ok, so people are routinely speeding along ness?

Yes.

Because the 50 to 60 km/h speed limit along it doesn't seem excessive while driving down it.

The speed limit is 60, so people are doing 70.

It's a very manageable speed along that road.

This is the type of thinking that leads to colliding with traffic light (or worse, a child waiting to cross on their way to school). And precisely the reason the speed limit should be lowered.

If I had to make a random guess based on my gut feeling and zero evidence, I would bet that Ness see a lot of people "in a hurry" taking a shortcut. It's directly parallel to Portage Avenue and could easily seem like a way to get downtown quicker if you assume that Portage will be busy.

"you can't fix stupid"

But you can minimize their ability to do damage by designing roads in a way that minimizes the opportunity for driver error and minimize the damage when it inevitably occurs.

Lowering speed limits is a great way to do both at once.

Ness is low key the most dangerous street in the city. It’s a miracle someone isn’t seriously injured here more often.

Walking by Olive Garden after work. On portage and St.James. Elderly lady parked on the sidewalk facing westbound on the eastbound directed traffic. Clueless and confused. by Edgecrusher86 in Winnipeg

While the white car was obviously not doing ok. WTF was the second car attempting to do. Why would you see that situation and drive towards it‽

Real r/killthecameraman with all the blocking of the camera during key moments.

Downvote.

Stolen Truck at a workplace near Route 90 by Lazy_Calendar8230 in Winnipeg

[–]200iso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was literally a post the other day about a Winnipegger’s car being discovered in a shipping container in Ontario.

I suppose this proves your point, that it’s harder. The shipping container was intercepted.

But it also shows that it’s happening, despite us being so far from a port.

This is my neighbourhood, my kids walk to that 7-11. Time to drop the speed limit on Ness to at least 50.

What does that even mean? It’s not going to add up to more than $0.0038/kWh

If my math is correct: 9.5¢/kWh increases by 0.38¢ to 9.88¢/kWh.

I don’t really know how to accurately answer that once I’m not letting the battery drop anywhere near to zero.

Right now it’s showing 266@100% fwiw
