BACKGROUND: Transportation Services received a request at a Neighbourhood Information Meeting regarding a separate planning matter, to review the former school crossing on Stirling Avenue North at Lydia Street. The request cited concerns regarding pedestrian safety and general operation of the intersection. It was requested that the intersection be studied, and additional infrastructure be considered to control traffic. *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Page 78 of 132 REPORT: According to the City of Kitchener's Official Plan, Stirling Avenue North is designated a Local Street and Lydia Street is designated a Local Street. Currently, traffic on Lydia Street stops and yields right of way to traffic on Stirling Avenue North. All -Way Stop Review In response to the identified concerns, a traffic study was conducted for the intersection on July 21, 2021. The results of the study were compared to the City of Kitchener's all -way stop warrant requirements. These requirements are a set of guidelines based on the all -way stop warrants established by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario and the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The results are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1 — All -Way Stop Warrant Analysis Local/Minor Road Stirling Avenue North at Lydia Street — July 21, 2021 Warrant Factors - "3 -Leg" Intersection Results Warrant Met The total vehicle volume on all intersection approaches averages at 119 NO least 250 vehicles per hour for each of any eight hours of the day, and The volume split does not exceed 75% / 25% for a three-way control on the major 94%/6% NO road, or Average of at least 4 collisions per year over a three-year period (susceptible to 0.00 per year NO correction by an All Way Stop) All -Way Stop Warranted NO As the results above indicate, the intersection does not meet the warrant criteria for an all - way stop. Based on the results of the traffic study Transportation Services does not recommend an all -way stop be installed. School Crossing Guard Review A pedestrian study was conducted on November 3, 2021. A significant volume of students and pedestrians do cross Stirling Avenue North at or near Lydia Street. However, due to the volume of vehicular traffic and the narrow width of the roadway, there are appropriate gaps within traffic to cross Stirling Avenue and therefore a crossing guard is not warranted. Pedestrian Crossover Review Following the review for a crossing guard, the data was also used to determine if a Pedestrian Crossover was warranted. The warrant requirements for a Level 2 Pedestrian Crossover, as outlined in OTM (Ontario Traffic Manual) Book 15 — Pedestrian Crossing Treatments, are as follows: • 100 or more pedestrians observed crossing over an 8 -hour period • No other controlled crossing within 200 m Page 79 of 132 Adherence to Ontario Traffic Manual Book 15 lane configuration and traffic volume conditions, which stipulate minimum and maximum traffic volumes Posted speed limit <_ 60 km/h All above subject to an assessment using sound technical engineering judgement. In addition to the pedestrian study conducted on November 3rd, 2021, vehicle volume was determined using an Automatic Data Recorder installed for approximately one week from October 29, 2021 to November 5, 2021. The results of these studies are shown in Table 2 below: Table 2 — Vehicle and Pedestrian Volumes 24-hour average weekday traffic volume Oct 29 — Nov 5, 2021 1102 vehicles Maximum 4 -hour traffic volume Fri Oct 29, 2021 412 vehicles Number of Pedestrian Crossings — 8 -hour period Wed Nov 3, 2021 269 pedestrians The warrant summary for the proposed pedestrian crossover on Stirling Avenue North is shown in Table 3 below. Table 3 - Level 2 Pedestrian Crossover Warrant Summary Stirling Avenue North at Lydia Street Required Actual Conditions Warrant Justification Value Value Satisfied? 1. 8 -hour Pedestrian Volume at > 100 peds 269 YES proposed crossover location Level 2 2 4 -hour Two-way Vehicle Min 395 Pedestrian V Volume Max 1,185 412 YES Crossover 3. Distance from Nearest > 200 100 NO Controlled Crossing metres The intersection does not meet the warrant criteria for a Pedestrian Crossover, due to the proximity of the stop -controlled intersection at Stirling Avenue North and East Avenue. However, OTM Book 15 - Pedestrian Crossing Treatments allows some engineering judgement to be considered when determining eligibility for a PXO. Specifically, it states: "It should be noted that if the use of a PXO is desired based on the connectivity or desire lines only (i.e. pedestrian and vehicular volume conditions are not fulfilled), then Table 7 can still be used based on speed and geometry of the roadway (use top two rows of the matrix)." Staff have considered connectivity in this instance, and due to the high number of school aged pedestrian crossings, the proximity of this crossing location to the schoolyard entrance to Sheppard Public School, the proximity to Knollwood Park and the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium, and the lack of sidewalk on the west side of Stirling Avenue North between Lydia Street and East Avenue, Transportation Services recommends the installation of a PXO. Page 80 of 132 OTM Book 15 provides a Pedestrian Crossover Selection Matrix as Table 7, which recommends that the most appropriate Pedestrian Crossover for this location is the `Level 2 - Type D' configuration (ground mounted signs, no flashing beacons). The Pedestrian Crossover Selection Matrix is included as Attachment B to this report. A suitable design of the `Type D' PXO configuration is included as Attachment C to this report. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: This report supports the delivery of core services. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Capital Budget — The recommendation has a $4,000 capital impact. These costs can be absorbed by the formal traffic calming capital account with limited/no impact to future work plans. Operating Budget —;. Any future replacement costs of signs and/or pavement markings can be absorbed by the sign Maintenance budget. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: INFORM — This report has been posted to the City's website with the agenda in advance of the council / committee meeting.

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS: • The purpose of this report is to seek council approval to amend the Uniform Traffic and Parking By -Law 2019-113 ("the By-law") for consistency with the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) section 128(5)(x) which allows for a lower rate of speed in school zones, with the *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Page 85 of 132 school zone in a municipality being defined as "a portion of a highway under its jurisdiction that adjoins the entrance to or exit from a school and that is within 150 metres along the highway in either direction beyond the limits of the land used for the purposes of the school". This change will also add a schedule listing all the school zones within The City, and the affected highways. • Changes to the School Zone bylaw were requested by the Region of Waterloo, for consistency with the Highway Traffic Act,. • This report amends The By-law to remove Schedule 19 — Rates of Speed and replaces it with wording designating the Rate of Speed on a highway within the City as being defined by official authorized signs on display. This change is being made to support the implementation of Neighbourhood Speed Limit Areas. • This report adds the definition of a Neighbourhood Bikeway to the By-law • There are no financial implications as these changes serve only to support the City's implementation of 40 km/h Neighbourhood Speed Limits, the Cycling and Trails Master Plan, and the Region of Waterloo's Automated Speed Enforcement Program. • Community engagement to support the proposed Bylaw changes were conducted through the Vision Zero Strategy and Neighbourhood Speed Limit project. • This report supports People -friendly Transportation. BACKGROUND: Transportation Services received a request from the Region of Waterloo to update the City of Kitchener's Uniform Traffic and Parking By-law 2019-113, specifically the section defining and detailing school zones to support the deployment of Automated Speed Enforcement. Transportation Services has begun the process of installing Neighbourhood Speed Limit Areas throughout the City. To remove the necessity of listing almost every neighbourhood roadway in a By-law schedule, The City is adopting the approach taken by the City of Ottawa whereby the Rate of Speed Schedule is removed, with the By-law stating that the speed limit of a roadway is as indicated by official authorized signs on display. The Cycling and Trails Master Plan identifies a series of Neighbourhood Bikeways throughout the City, and the Vision Zero report indicates that Neighbourhood Bikeways will have a posted speed of 30 km/h. This report adds the definition of Neighbourhood Bikeway to The By-law. REPORT: The use of Automated Speed Enforcement equipment in the Province of Ontario is regulated by the Highway Traffic Act. The Act includes the following: Part XIV.1 —AUTOMATED SPEED ENFORCMENT 205.1 (1) An automated speed enforcement system may be used in accordance with this Part and the regulations made under it, (b) in a school zone designated by by-law passed under clause 128 (5) (a). 2017, c. 9, s. 5. The above sets out a requirement that The City pass a bylaw designating school zones for the purpose of ASE. The Region of Waterloo is administering the ASE program on behalf of all municipalities within the Region, and regional staff have requested that city staff ensure The City's By-law is in line with The HTA. The By-law amendment attached to this report serves to fulfill that requirement by updating the definition of a School Zone to match the Page 86 of 132 HTA, updating "Section 11 No Stopping in School Zones" to ensure current School Zone No Stopping regulations remain unchanged, and identifying each school zone in The City on proposed new Schedule 28. The City is expanding the 40 km/h Neighbourhood Speed Limit Areas to include all residential neighbourhoods. To support this change, the previous Schedule 19 — RATES OF SPEED will be removed from the Uniform Traffic and Parking By-law and the By-law will be updated with language stating that the speed limit on a given roadway is set by official authorized signs on display. This change removes the requirement of listing almost every roadway in the city on a by-law schedule and follows the approach implemented by The City of Ottawa. The definition of a Neighbourhood Bikeway is added to the Uniform Traffic and Parking Bylaw, to support initiatives set out in the Cycling and Trails Master Plan, and in the Vision Zero Strategy. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: This report supports People -friendly Transportation. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Capital Budget — The recommendation has no impact on the Capital Budget. Operating Budget — The recommendation has no impact on the Operating Budget. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: INFORM — This report has been posted to the City's website with the agenda in advance of the council / committee meeting.
