Hello Alpine families,

The City of Kitchener has begun reducing speed limits to 40 km/h in all residential neighbourhoods, including near Alpine PS. Within these areas, school zones will be reduced to 30 km/h.

Signs indicating the new 40 km/h limit are being installed at the entrances to the neighbourhood, designating a network of local roadways within the entrance points that are all 40 km/h; an approach known as “gateway” signage.

All neighbourhoods within the city will be converted to the lower speed limit by end of 2023. Major city roads and all regional roads will remain at their current speed limit.

Further details about this project can be found here.
