The City’s Transportation Committee today approved a plan to implement citywide road safety measures in 2022, building on projects completed in 2021. The City increased its investment in the safety of road users in the 2022 budget, spending $44.3 million this year compared to $37.1 million in 2021. Of those total investments towards road safety initiatives and programs, $7.2 million will fund measures identified in the Road Safety Action Plan.

The City would continue ongoing projects and begin new initiatives that focus on vulnerable road users, rural skewed intersections, high cycling volume intersections and high-risk behaviour among drivers. Road users would see more pedestrian crossovers and automated speed cameras near schools, safety enhancements for cycling infrastructure, and new protected left turn signals. The City would continue to develop a motorcycle safety strategy and to do outreach to educate and inform residents about road safety.

The Committee approved a Statement of Work for a study to review options for a multi-use pathway crossing to connect the Tremblay LRT Station to the Trainyards retail area, offices and a future mixed-use redevelopment. This project is part of planned transit-oriented development for the LRT station.

Recommendations from today’s meeting requiring Council approval will rise to Council on Wednesday, February 9.
