Traffic Calming Request

The goal of traffic calming is to make streets safer for people to bike, walk and drive. Making physical changes to the roadway, such as horizontal shifts (curb extensions, chicanes) and vertical shifts (raised crosswalks and intersections). This helps reduce speeding and enhances the quality of life by making the street more comfortable for all users. 

An established and formal process for investigating roads provides consistency and equality in the determination of traffic calming. Residents with traffic related concerns are instructed to submit their written request to investigate traffic calming within their neighbourhood to the Town. Town staff will then conduct a brief preliminary assessment to determine if the requested roadway meets the following Initial Screening Criteria.

There is no fee to submit a request. The process used by staff when proceeding with a request for traffic calming is detailed within the Traffic Calming Policy.
