Birch Street New Bikeway: Speed Limit Changed in Front of Pinecrest Elementary

The City of Campbell River has upgraded Birch Street, the street in front of Pinecrest Elementary School, into a neighbourhood bikeway and reducing the speed limit on Birch Street to 30 km/hour. Playgrounds and school zones that previously had posted speed limits of 30 km/hour for certain times now have speed limits of 30 km/hour all day, every day.

This applies to the playground zones on Merecroft Road, Pinecrest Road and next to Centennial Park, as well as the school zone on Birch Street by Pinecrest Elementary School. 

Birch Street was selected to be a neighbourhood bikeway because it is a local, residential street with lower vehicle volumes and lower vehicle speeds.
