Traffic Calming Pilot Project - Yeomans Street |
About the ProjectThe purpose of the Traffic Calming Pilot Project is to provide an opportunity to gather data regarding traffic calming methods and their effect on traffic within the City of Belleville. Project HistoryIn 2020 City Council adopted a Traffic Calming Policy and approved a Traffic Calming Pilot project the following year. In accordance with the Traffic Calming Policy, City staff invited the public to submit requests for which streets staff should review to apply/add traffic calming to. Of the 108 requests submitted, 19 roadways qualified for consideration of Traffic Calming. The Transportation Committee selected four of these streets to be considered for further review, Charles Street, Foster Avenue, Village Drive and Yeomans Street. The data collected from the previously mentioned streets showed that Village Drive is the only street of the four that qualify for further review of Traffic Calming under the current policy. Upon further investigation, the Transportation Committee and Council decided to proceed with a modified procedure and install temporary rubber speed humps along Yeomans Street between Moira Street and Catharine Street. These speed humps would be installed in August 2023 and be removed by November 1, 2023. This would provide nine to eleven (9-11) weeks of data collection as well as a range of traffic patterns, for summer holidays as well as during the school year. Staff will also record and collect all complaints/comments with regards to this trial to have a thorough collection of effectiveness for speed humps within the City of Belleville. This trial project would assist staff with amending the Traffic Calming Policy to provide supporting data for the evaluation criteria adjustments. Construction ImpactsEfforts will be made to ensure there is minimal impact to local residences; however, there may be temporary lane closures and temporary impacts to driveways. Driveway impacts will be communicated to individual residents by the contractor. Your patience in this matter is appreciated. On-Street Parking ImpactsStreet parking is governed under the City’s Traffic By-Law, 12967. Currently, the By-Law notes that street parking is prohibited on both sides of the street. It is proposed that parking shall remain prohibited at all times along both sides of the street in order to create space for Traffic Calming design options. The CostThe project budget for this project is $100,000. The Project ScheduleCity Council has approved construction funding for this project to proceed in 2023. The project timeline is expected to be:
