Proposal for a Logie 20mph speed limit #dundeewestend
Residents will be aware that we have long campaigned for - at the request of residents - a lower speed limit in the Logie estate, where roads are very narrow and there is a large population of elderly people, particularly on the north side of the estate where the sheltered housing is.
Fraser raised this at the council's former City Development Committee some time ago and this was agreed as a future 20mph project.
The City Council will shortly be consulting on a proposed new 20mph which is rather larger than Logie itself.
Please see the proposed public notice which will be promoted shortly as part of the consultation exercise on the proposal.
The list of affected streets is highlighted as part of this public notice :
