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.
Study process
Phase 1: Launch (6 months)
Includes:
- Project team formation
- Planning
- Hiring a consultant to undertake the study
- Stakeholder identification and outreach
- Initial project communications
- Advisory committee formation
Phase 2: Issues identification (6 months)
Key concerns are determined through:
- Advisory committee meetings
- Public engagement
- 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.
