    The Winter Avenue no-entry restriction via Kings Bridge Road will be removed the week of September 10th, once permanent speed cushions have been installed as a traffic calming measure on Winter Avenue.

    In 2017 the City implemented a no-entry restriction from King’s Bridge Road on to Winter Avenue to address traffic volume and speed concerns raised by residents in the area. Since then, the city has undertaken a review of traffic flow in the Rennie’s River area and used technical data collected on-site, staff observations, and public feedback, to prepare a report for Council on the impacts of this traffic calming project. The report was presented to Council in May and a final decision was made to lift the no-entry restriction and consider the installation of traffic calming speed cushions on Winter Avenue.

    As with all traffic calming projects, residents in the area received a survey to provide feedback on the proposed option. The majority of survey responses supported the installation of speed cushions.

    The City has recently introduced several traffic pilot projects throughout the city to enhance pedestrian safety, improve traffic flow and increase parking availability. The infrastructure to support the projects will be removed before snow clearing operations begin.　

    Staff are now seeking public feedback on each project through an online survey. The public opinion survey is focused on the following pilot projects:　

    Church Hill and Veteran’s Square reconfiguration　

    Plymouth Street and Duckworth Street one way loop　

    Kenmount Terrace mini-roundabout　

    Winter Avenue no entry restriction　

    The City’s transportation engineering staff have been monitoring each of the areas. The public feedback that is received through this online survey will inform the evaluation and be presented to City Council. Once presented, Council will determine if the pilot project changes will become permanent at these locations.　

    The survey will be open for two weeks and is available here.
