Proposed Approach to Lowering Speed Limits

Current City Policy 7018 pennits the Director, Transportation to implement traffic calming on local roads if a majority of affected residents support the project. Previous traffic calming surveys typically yield a response rate of 30 to 40 per cent, which makes achieving majority support of affected residents difficult. Typically support by 50 per cent of respondents to a traffic calming survey is achieved. In anticipation of increased requests for traffic calming to support the 30 km/h speed limit, staff recommend changes to the existing policy. The proposed changes would authorize the Director, Transpo1iation to implement traffic calming measures, if engagement with residents immediately adjacent to the proposed traffic calming measure results in at least 50 per cent support of survey respondents. This would improve staffs ability to address resident speeding concerns in a timely manner. Should Council support the proposed approach to implementing traffic calming on local roads, staff will bring forward the policy amendments for Council approval. Funding for the complementary traffic calming process will be included in the future year capital submissions for Council consideration as part of the annual budget process.
