On the agenda

As the city filed it

Since 2016, my office has been working closely with residents on Riverview Heights and Transportation Services staff to try to alleviate the concerns raised surrounding traffic safety and speeding on the street. In a 2017 traffic study, staff determined that the warrant criteria for traffic calming was not met. Despite piloting turn prohibitions, police enforcement and the use of mobile radar feedback signs, the concerns of speeding on this street continue to persist.

My office has received an updated petition from residents on Riverview Heights to request the implementation of traffic calming on their street. I would ask that you support the recommendations below which would have the clerk issue a poll to eligible households on Riverview Heights, between St Phillips Road and Dixon Road. Traffic calming would be implemented upon favourable poll results.
