Community traffic calming process

Only neighbourhoods with significant shortcutting problems or broad/complex traffic issues are considered candidates for the community traffic calming stream.

Once a location is identified as a candidate for the stream, we research it to determine: 

  • Severity of traffic issues
  • How surrounding development has affected traffic 
  • Whether we are planning any other roadway projects in the area 
  • Whether the ward Councillor supports installing traffic calming measures in the area
  • Its classification as a geographic area of higher poverty

We use these factors to give it a priority ranking and place it on a list with other candidates. While we maintain this list on an ongoing basis, we only study one location at a given time.

Includes: 

  • Project team formation

Phase 2: Issues identification (6 months)

Key concerns are determined through:

  • Stakeholder engagement
  • Data collection and evaluation

Phase 3: Solution development (6-12 months)

Includes: 

  • Designing solutions
  • Collecting feedback via public and stakeholder engagement
  • Refining solutions and assigning them for either immediate implementation or long-term consideration

Phase 4: Implementation (6+ months)  

  • Immediate term solutions are implemented following the study portion of the project
    • Depending on the situation, some may be implemented on a trial basis and further monitored.
  • There is no set implementation timeline for solutions identified for consideration in the long term.
