The City of St. Catharines is in receipt of a request for traffic calming on Woodelm Drive to address concerns about excessive vehicle speeds.
Traffic calming measures (e.g. speed humps/cushions) can help increase the livability of residential neighbourhoods by reducing the negative impacts of vehicular speeds and providing a more comfortable environment for pedestrians and cyclists.
City staff are proposing to install temporary speed humps/cushions. Three locations have been selected: in the vicinity of 13, 27 and 46 Woodelm Drive. A map showing the approximate locations is below:
Prior to proceeding with the installation of temporary speed humps/cushions, City staff are conducting a survey to determine if there is sufficient support for the proposal. As per the City’s Traffic Calming Policy, sufficient support requires at least fifty per cent of the households surveyed to respond and that the majority of those respondents be in favour. If less than fifty per cent of the households respond or if the majority of respondents are opposed to the proposal, no action will be taken.
Staff will install temporary speed humps/cushions if the support requirement is met. These measures will be left on the road until the beginning of the winter season when they will be removed.
Please give your response in the survey below.
Feedback closes at 4:30 p.m. on June 16, 2023.
