Saskatoon police are not saying if they will continue to enforce the 30 km/h speed limit in a north end school zone if city council endorses a recommendation to remove it and the signs are not taken down immediately.

“We would consider next steps from an enforcement perspective once approval is given,” police spokeswoman Alyson Edwards wrote in an email Monday afternoon.

Last year, police wrote 87 speeding tickets in the school zone on Lenore Drive, adjacent to Bishop James Mahoney High School. City administrators recommended it be removed after conducting a neighbourhood traffic review.

City council’s transportation committee voted Monday to send the proposal to council so that Coun. Randy Donauer, whose ward encompasses the school zone, could weigh in. Donauer sits on the committee but was absent Monday.

Council is now expected to vote on the matter, contained in the broader neighbourhood traffic review, on March 23.
