The Veteran’s Square traffic pilot project changes include:

- Reducing the width of Church Hill in the Vicinity of Veteran’s Square

- Adding formal parking areas on Church Hill and on Veteran’s Square

- Closing Veteran’s Square to through traffic, vehicles parking will be permitted to travel in one direction only from Church Hill toward Cathedral Street

By making temporary changes to the area, the City’s Transportation Engineering staff hope to realize several benefits:

- Increased pedestrian safety by reducing the distance that people walk on the street as they travel along Queen’s Road

- Increased driver safety by creating a more traditional ‘T’ intersection at Church Hill and Queen’s Road

- Reduced traffic on Bond Street by eliminating the direct route through Veteran’s Square

- Improved parking in the area by increasing formal parking stalls and eliminating areas where informal parking occurs during events and services
