Project Summary

Project Name: Stormont Road traffic calming
Priority: Discretionary
Project Number: 1-2-03230-310 CC323-01
Submitted by: I. Leung, Director of Engineering

Executive Summary

A list of options for consideration to provide additional traffic calming on Stormont Road as requested by Council.

This project was proposed for the 2020 budget year and was subsequently pulled in order to manage budgets during the COVID-19 Pandemic. With the Town of View Royal now operating close to pre-pandemic levels this project is reinserted this year for Council’s consideration.

Business problem and opportunity

A traffic Counter was installed on several occasions to determine the traffic volumes and speeds on Stormont Road. In all instances speeds were well below 50 km/hr.

Proposed project objectives

To provide traffic calming measures as a result of short cutting traffic on Stormont Road, for Council to consider:

Speed Bump as requested by residents including cut-out for emergency vehicles: $4,000
Speed table as per Town specifications: $8,000
Wired speed reader board: $10,000

Business risks

As there are already traffic calming measures on Stormont Road, adding additional such measures could be precedent setting as additional neighbourhoods would be expecting similar treatment. Staff recommends no addition traffic calming measures be installed.

Furthermore, there may be alternative options available as part of the Town’s Active Transportation Management Plan, especially being in close proximity to View Royal Elementary School.
