The Municipality of Lakeshore is putting the call out to residents to share their feedback on how to address traffic, speed, and safety-related concerns on local roads.
Lakeshore is working with Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited for the two-part project. The first element will be the development of a Speed Limit Policy, which will include a process to evaluate and recommend speed limit changes on roads as well as assess the potential impact of lower speed limits in urban areas.
The second part of the project will review the municipality’s current Traffic Calming Policy. Using resident feedback and a review of best practices, the updated policy will include guidelines for evaluating and implementing traffic calming measures.
“This process will be a great opportunity to engage residents in the creation of community-based solutions that address concerns around traffic, speed, and safety,” said lakeshore mayor Tracey Bailey.
Residents can submit their feedback using the Traffic & Speed Limit Policy Review Community Survey, share traffic concerns using the online Traffic Issue Reporting Tool, and attend the upcoming Public Information Centre to be hosted in June (more details to be provided).
Survey submissions will be accepted until Friday, June 16.
Respondents who require assistance filling out the survey can call the Public Service Unit at 519-728-2700 ext. 0 during regular business hours (8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday).
A summary of feedback and draft policies are expected to be presented to Council for consideration later this year.
