The City of Edmonton decided in March to lower speed limits only on residential roads and not by as much as community leagues had wanted.

Ritchie board supports lower speeds across city
Ritchie community league members spoke up in favour of reducing speed limits on most roads across the city, although they were pretty evenly split as to exactly how much to drop them. The league board will take their views forward to a public meeting Feb. 26. You can go too (or write a letter to have your opinions considered.)
Facing the climate emergency at home in Ritchie: Workshop Feb. 23 @ 1 p.m.
Join Irene and John McDermott, Ritchie residents and city-certified climate change ambassadors (not to mention professional facilitators), as they help us figure out what the climate emergency means in our homes and in our neighbourhood. It’s not a lecture, but a conversation among participants. Sunday, Feb. 23 starting at 1 p.m. at Ritchie Hall.
Their first Climate Conversation, in November, was attended by 20 residents. February’s workshop is one of four planned for the coming year.
These quarterly workshops are among several Keep Ritchie Green events planned for 2020. They are part of a “citizen series” which provides a venue for local residents to share their expertise with neighbours on an environmental topic of their choice. Suggestions welcome!
Keep Ritchie Green: Home and Yard Series, where speakers are recruited to provide practical advice for homeowners, returns March 16 and on the third Monday of the month thereafter. Watch Ritchie’s website, Facebook, and e-newsletters for upcoming topics and times.
