EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This review summarizes resident feedback and the benefits and challengesofreducedspeed limitsinKitchenerresidential neighbourhoods. This report also recommends apilot projectbe implemented toevaluate the effectiveness of lowering speed limits in a neighbourhood-wide context.For the purpose of the pilot project three (3) Neighbourhood Speed Limit Pilot Areas have been proposed. These areasare primarily residential, andif approved by Council would haveadefault speed of40 km/h for all roads within thedefinedboundaries.Through the use of at their entry and exit points,road users would be informed of the default speed limitwithin Neighbourhood Speed Limit Pilot Area.The City would also reduce the speed limit in school zones within the proposed pilot project areas to 30 km/h, and sign accordingly. If approved by Council, the pilot project willbe implemented by end of fall2019. Data collection andanalysis will commenceupon implementation,and evaluationresultsand recommendations will be reported to Council in fall 2020. BACKGROUND: Public concern regarding vehicle speedsshowsa strong desire for lower speed limitsthroughout Kitchener.The highlights of the surveys and public engagements are summarized below: *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. 12 - 1 public engagement process in 2015, showed that reducing neighbourhood speed limits is one of the main desired characteristics for a safe neighborhood perspective. TheCity of Kitchener commissionedanEnvironics Research telephone surveyin 2018 that the next four years. The City of Kitchener conducted an online survey in January 2019 which found that 57% of respondentsagree that lowering traffic speeds is a priority in their neighbourhood. Citizen concernsabout speeding are frequently received by Ward Councillors and Transportationstaff. Lower vehicle speeds also support the City of Kitchener 2017-2019 Strategic Action Plan, as it has acknowledged the relationship between lower speeds on roadways and safer streets in neighborhoods. REPORT: s Currently the uniform unposted speed limitin the City of Kitchener is50 km/h, with the following exceptions: 30 km/h Speed Limit:3road segmentsadjacent to parks; 40km/h Speed Limit: 53road segment (18out of 53are posted at school zones,and 35 out of 53were implemented in response tospeeding concerns) 60 km/h Speed Limit:4road segmentswhich are city arterial roads with higher-speed geometry,and limited driveway accesses; and, 80 km/h Speed Limit:1 roadsegmentwhich is not within a built-up area. A complete list of all roads in the City with speed limits other than 50km/h is provided in Appendix A. The City of Kitchener has experience withlowering speed limits to 40km/h on35non-school- zoneroad segments.Analysis of these individualsegments suggestthat there is minimal effect ondriver behaviour whenthe postedspeedis lowered without the appropriate education, enforcement and geometricchanges to the roadway. It is important to note that these speed limit reductions were applied to isolated segments of roadways,andnot on a neighbourhood-wide scale. Highway Traffic ActSpeed Limit Amendment On May 1, 2018, theHighway Traffic Act (HTA)wasamended to include subsection128 (2.2), speed, which must be less than 50 kilometres per hour, that applies to all highways within the 2 *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. 12 - 2 designated areaThis legislation provides the legal mechanism for the Neighbourhood Speed Limit Review pilot project.This amendment is provided in Appendix B. PotentialBenefitsand Challengesof Lowering Speed Limits Thepotential benefits and challenges of reducingthe speed limit from 50km/h to 40km/hin residential neighbourhoods are summarized in Table 1and Table 2respectively. Table 1Potential Benefits of Lowering Speed Limits Increase In a collision between a vehicle travelling at 50 km/hand a pedestrian, the survival rate likelihood of survival of the pedestrian is only 15%. This survival rate increases to 75% if the vehicle speed is reduced to 40 km/h. Decrease Lower operating speeds decrease the stopping distance required to risk of a prevent a collision. collision Drivers travelling at lower speeds are better able to scan the roadway, and notice objects and movement. Increasesopportunities for eye contact between road users. Increase Promotesa safer environment for active transportation users. health Adopting active transportation modes of travel reduces the instances and benefits severity of health related issues such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and some cancers. Increase Increased active transportation provides more opportunities for interaction human between residents and promotes a sense of community. interactions Slower vehicle speeds can create more welcoming and safer right-of-ways for pedestrians. Table 2Potential Challenges and Risks of Lowering Speed Limits Non- Research has shown that the geometric design of the roadway hasa compliance limit. Lowering the speed limit without proper enforcementand educationcan increase the rateof non-compliance. Posted speed limits which do not match the physical and geometric characteristics of the roadway frustrate motorists,and mayfoster aggressive driving habits False sense Lowerposted speed limits maycreate a false sense of security for of security cyclists and pedestriansif vehicle operating speedsremain high. Public Lack ofconsistencywith other municipalitiesmay create confusion for confusion road users. Services Reducing the speed limits from 50 km/h to 40 km/h may impact public schedules adjustments these agencies. Grand River Transit and Waterloo District School Board expect minimal impact to their servicebased on the pilot locations. 3 *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. 12 - 3 Review of Relevant Experience in other Canadian Municipalities Research shows that a number of municipalities are still in the process of evaluating the permanent implementation of reduced speed limitsona neighbourhood-wide scale. Some municipalities have evaluated a speed limit reduction on limited road sections which showed minimal impact on reducing operating speeds. However,the impacts of reducing speed limits on a neighbourhood-wide scale have notyetbeen evaluated.Experience from other municipalities are summarized in Table 3. Table 3Experience of Other Canadian Municipalities with Lowering Speed Limits LocationDetailsStatus Ottawa, Ottawaplans to designate one neighbourhoodin each wardActive ONwith 40km/hr speed limits,by the end of 2019.The total estimated cost for a city-wide implementation is $1.58 million. Aby-law has been passed to allow the General Manager of Transportation Services to designate areas in accordance with the Speed Zoning Policy, and the limits become legally enforceable when the gateway signs are erected.A formal report analyzing the impacts has not yet been published by the City. Hamilton, 40km/h signs have been installed on over 250 streets sinceActive ON2015. These are in school zones, and on neighbourhood streets as a result of resident requests. In July 2019 Hamilton City Councilapproved a plan to identify and sign all neighbourhoods within the City at 40 km/h, and all school zones at 30 km/h. These changes will be applied to local streets and minor collectors.The total estimated cost for implementation, city-wide, is $2,500,000 over three (3) years. Montreal, As part of the City of Montreal Project Zero initiative, the CityActive PQis reducing speed limits to 40 km/h on main streets and 30 km/h on residential streets. Calgary, Motion passed in September 2018 to lower the speed limitsActive ABin residential areas. Staff to determine if reduced speed should be 30 km/h or 40 km/h, and if collector roads should be included. 4 *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. 12 - 4 Edmonton, Staff report recommends lowering speed limits in residentialActive ABneighbourhoods to 40km/h and 30km/h. According to the latest update (April 2018) Council has sent the issue back to staff for further review. A pilot project in 2010 on six roads showeda 7% reduction onaverage operating speeds. However, speeds were still above the posted speed limits and as a result the level of compliance was not improved. City of KitchenerCollisionHistory A review of the historical collision data was conducted for the past five years,(January2014 to December 2018).Theresults of the analysis is summarized below and thedetailsare provided inAppendix C. The data shows a total of 6,085 collisions in the City of Kitchener during the past five years: o 5,802 collisions involving vehicles only(95%) o 165 collisions involvingpedestrians(3%) o 118 collisions involving cyclists(2%) The data shows that out of 6,085 collisions, there were a total of: o 4,999collisions with property damage only(82.2%) o 1,029 collisions with minimal to minor injuries(16.9%) o 57 with major to fatal injuries(0.9%) Amore in depth review ofthe data shows that while collisions involving pedestrians or cyclists account for 5% of total collisions in Kitchener, cyclists and pedestrians account for 70% of all serious injuries. When looking at fatal collisions, cyclists and pedestrians account for 57% of fatalities. This shows that although the number of collisions involving a pedestrian or a cyclist is comparatively low, their likelihood of serious injury or death is much higher than drivers. Review of ResidentsSpeeding Concerns A review of resident concerns showsthat speedingin neighbourhoods isone of the most common concernsreported to the Transportation Services Department.The highlights of this review is summarized below. An analysis of the data shows wards 2, 4, and 5, as having the highest number of logged speeding concerns. These wards contain a large amount of suburban built form, and are generallyexperiencinga significant amount ofnew suburban residential growth. These newersuburban areas aregenerally more car dependant and have traditionally been designed withwide streets.Newsuburban areaslack mature boulevard trees,or other visualindicatorsto helpnarrow the feel of the road, which can aid in traffic calming. 5 *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. 12 - 5 From January 2018to July2019, Transportation Planning staff have formally logged 327 separate concerns/complaints(not including Parking Enterprise), and of these 94are related to speed concerns and the desire for traffic calming. This represents29% of all traffic concerns.The breakdownof speed complaintsby Ward is shown in Table 4. Table 4 Speed Related Concerns Logged Breakdown by Ward Ward 24571109836 Number of 191312111187742 Concerns Public Engagement An online survey wasconducted to gauge public desire for a review of neighbourhood speed limits. The survey was open from January1, 2019 to May8, 2019. During this time, 401 unique visitors accessed the site, with 342 of these contributing to the survey.The survey participants answered numerous questions relating to how they felt about traffic speeds in the City. Some of the results are summarized below. Of the respondents, 57% agree that lowering traffic speeds is a priority in their neighbourhood. 27%disagreewith that statement, while 16%were neutral or not sure. Respondents were given an opportunity to select which types of streets they would like to see the lower speed limit implemented on, andwere able to select more than one option. The top three priorities were: o Commonly used school routes (78%of respondents) o Residential neighbourhood roads (72%of respondents) o Pedestrian shopping and market areas (69%of respondents) Respondents werealsoasked what their top three concerns areregarding alowered speed limit. Responsesshow that lack of compliance was the most prevalent concern, making up 31% of responses,followed by negative impacts on travel time with 29%of responses,and cost of implementation with 17%of responses. Respondents were asked which options they believe would help increase compliance. Theresults indicate enforcement was the most selected option accounting for 30% of the responses, road design modifications accounted for 29%of responses, and speed feedback signs accounted for19% of responses. The survey questions are provided in Appendix D Results and Recommendations Based on the results described in the previous sections, a strong desire for reducing speedsin the City of Kitchener residential neighbourhoods is evident. Neighbourhood-wide deployment of speed limit reduction in municipalities similar to Kitchener are not common. Where this approach has been taken,formalanalysis is not yet available. As a result the Neighbourhood Speed Limit Review pilot projectis recommended to investigate impacts, challenges, and costs associated with a potential permanent and city-wide implementation of a posted speed limit reduction from 6 *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. 12 - 6 reduced to 30 km/h, and will be signed accordingly. Similar to the City of Ottawa, a gateway signageapproach is proposed to be taken for the Neighbourhood Speed Limit Reviewpilotproject.Through this approacharea speed limit signs are posted at the entry and exit points of a neighbourhood;therefore eliminating the need to add new signage to each roadway within thedesignated area. A sample of thisgatewaysignage type is provided in Appendix E. Proposed Pilot Project Areas Staff have developed a map sectioningtheCity into potential Neighbourhood Speed Limit Areas. These areasaremostlybounded by arterial streetsand regional roads. This map is provided in Appendix F. The implementation costswere estimated for each of these areasincluding the cost to remove existing signage and manufacture andinstall new signs.This is provided in Appendix G. Staff have developed criteria to help determine which locations are best suited for the Neighbourhood Speed Limit Pilot Areas. These criteria include speed related concerns from residents(table 4),school zones, pedestrian destinationsand appropriate area size.The proposed areas and the associated implementation costs are providedinTable 5.

Pilot Project Schedule The pilot project is planned to be carried out in four (4) consecutive phases: Phase 1commenced inwinter 2019 and isexpected to be completedin summer 2019. This phase includes project initiation andplanning,as well assecuring requiredapprovals to proceed. Phase 2will commence in August 2019(pending Council approval), and will encompass public communication and education,manufacturing and installing new signs, and removing existingsignage. Phase 3will begin in fall2019after the Neighbourhood Speed Limit Areashavebeen implemented,extendingthrough fall 2020, and will include monitoring anddata collection. Phase 4will occur in fall 2020, and will include analysisof the collected data,evaluation of alternatives, and recommendations toCouncil. Communications and Engagement Plan Anumber of initiatives to engage and educate the public arerequired. Communication with the public would be City-wide, but with focused effortin the Neighbourhood Speed Limit Pilot Areas and surrounding communities.Communication initiatives will include the following: Social media posts on City accounts, included geo-targeted posts for Neighbourhood Speed Limit Pilot Areas; Pamphlets and posters at city-run facilities; Direct mailings to residents within the pilot project areas; Notifications sent home with students from local schools; Webpage for information, updates and ongoing feedback ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN This project aligns with strategic priority 3 (Safe and Thriving Neighbourhoods), strategy 3.2 (Create safer streets in our neighbourhoods through new traffic calming approaches), strategic action NB38 (traffic calming) FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The estimated initial costs for signing the threeproposedNeighbourhood Speed Limit Areas pilotprojectis$35,900including $20,900for 40 km/h signage and installation,and $15,000 for communications and engagement to informand educateresidents of theproposedspeed limit changes. Funding for this project is to come from the Traffic Calming budget. Thecost for signing all the Neighbourhood Speed Limit Areas in the City is estimated at $430,000for signage and installation. Additionally, there will be significant communications and 8 *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. 12 - 8 engagement costs that have yet to be defined at a city-wide scale.As a result, it is not recommended to proceed with City-wide installation until the results of the pilot are known. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: CONSULT The City has conducted surveys to gauge public support for lower speed limits in neighbourhoods. The support for this type of initiative has generally been positive.
