Highway 17 Speed Limit Going Up

It should soon take a little less time to get around some areas of the city.

The Operations department is recommending the speed limits be increased in a couple of
areas of town.

Operations manager Rick Perchuck says now that the east highway to the city limits has
been paved, he'd like to see the speed limit increased from 80 kilometers an hour.

Perchuck says they are also proposing to increase the speed limit on Highway 596, from the Darlington Bridge to Highway 17-A from 60 kilometers an hour up to 80 klicks.
