Dozens of countermeasures are included in the city’s new proposed Road Safety Strategy.
The finalized strategy is the focus of an upcoming open house (4-6 pm) and presentation to council (6:30 pm) next Tuesday, Nov. 12 at City Hall.
Six areas of focus include intersections, aggressive and distracted driving, pedestrians, cyclists and school zones.
Some of the recommendations include traffic calming measures like speed bumps or traffic circles, rumble strips, speed feedback signs, reviewing and relocating bus stops, adjusting traffic signal timings for slower walkers and more.
Future possibilities could include red-light cameras and automated speed enforcement.
The city says the proposed Road Safety Strategy, which is posted on its website, is designed to improve safety for everyone on the road and looks to reduce fatal and injury collisions by at least 15% within the next five years.
