Orchard Avenue Calming Project
The Orchard Avenue traffic calming pilot project is designed to enhance safety for all road users by reducing speeds and discouraging cut through traffic. Key features include a travel lane reduction in each direction, lowering speeds and eliminating aggressive passing, flexible delineators and bollards allowing for future adjustments, mini speed humps and refreshed striping at the Joyce Street roundabout to slow vehicles down. This cost effective pilot project was implemented quickly without asphalt or concrete work, keeping Orchard Avenue adaptable for future permanent improvements. A safer, calmer Orchard Avenue built for the community.
