Traffic Calming Strategy
The purpose of the Town’s Traffic Calming Strategy is to incorporate best practices in traffic calming with local context to provide an efficient, flexible and systematic framework to address traffic safety issues relating to excessive speeding, traffic infiltration, and collision frequency and severity.
The Town issues a Request for Tender in June 2026 and will retain a contractor to complete installations over the summer.
Speed Hump Implementation
Following a temporary pilot program that used seasonal rubber speed bumps and traffic delineators, the Town is moving to install permanent Speed Humps as a more consistent, long-term Traffic Calming solution. Speed Humps are raised sections of roadway designed to slow vehicles by creating a vertical shift, encouraging drivers to reduce speed.
This supports the Town’s overall Traffic Calming Strategy, originally presented in 2024 and revised in 2026.

Proposed permanent speed hump locations are generally in line with existing temporary speed bump locations:
- Lakeshore Road, west of Appleton Avenue
- Lakeshore Road, east of Appleton Avenue
- Lakeshore Road, west of Ninth Line
