BACKGROUND:
In April 2005, Paradigm Transportation Solutions Ltd. was retained to conduct a Class "B"
Environmental Assessment for Greenbrook Drive, Kingswood Drive and David Street /Schneider
Avenue, as these streets were identified the highest priority on the traffic calming priority list. The
priorities are defined by a number of factors which include, but are not limited to volume, collisions
and speed. In the summer /fall of 2005, these studies were completed and their recommendations
were presented to Council for approval.
The recommended plans were approved by Council and the measures recommended therein were
approved to be installed on a temporary basis, to measure their effectiveness before committing to
permanent installation.
REPORT:
The installation of the temporary traffic calming measures will reduce roadway widths to a point that
the parking or stopping of vehicles would restrict traffic flow, thereby making the roadways
impassable. Therefore, Transportation Planning is recommending that stopping be prohibited on
Greenbrook Drive, Schneider Avenue and Kingswood Drive in the areas of the traffic calming
measures, to provide safe and efficient traffic flow.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The approximate cost to appropriately sign the roadway is $1500, including materials and installation
and will be taken from the existing sign maintenance budget.
