As an extra precaution during ball season, the City of Swift Current would like to advise residents and motorists that two roadways will see a speed limit reduction to thirty kilometres per hour (30 km/hr) during the months of May to September:

• A portion of 19th Avenue Northeast near the baseball diamonds, and;

• The roadway within the City Recreation Complex ball diamonds.

Five (5) of the City’s baseball diamonds are located along 19th Avenue Northeast, and there are ten (10) diamonds at the City Recreation Complex. 

To ensure safety of all ball players, volunteers, families, fans, and motorists, the speed limit will be reduced to 30 km/hr on 19th Avenue Northeast from the InnovationPlex North Parking Lot to Laurier Drive. This speed reduction will also include a portion of Bell Street, from 19th Avenue Northeast to the alley.  Signage will be installed for the duration. (see attached map)
