motorists September 3 in a school zone on Taylor
Street East. Thirty km/h speed zones will remain
in effect around all Saskatoon schools. City
administration had recommended lifting the speed
limit around most high schools, but keeping it in
place for elementary schools. On September 2,
city council passed a motion to keep the speed
zones as they are. Greg Pender /The StarPhoenix
