Traffic calming study public consultation presentation set for October 4

CIMA Canada Inc., an engineering consultant, has been engaged to carry out a traffic calming study and to develop a traffic calming policy for the Town of Orangeville. Developing a policy and implementing traffic calming measures resulted from concerns raised by residents about speeding and traffic safety. A traffic calming presentation and virtual public open house is set for October 4 at 7 p.m. The presentation will be on the Council agenda on the Town’s website calendar and can be viewed live on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/OrangevilleCouncil (Town of Orangeville channel). The Council agenda will be posted online at www.orangeville.ca by Thursday, September 30, 2021.

CIMA’s presentation will define traffic calming, provide information on what types of traffic calming measures are suitable for the Town of Orangeville, and what process the Town will need to follow for the implementation of traffic calming measures.

Input from the public consultation process will be integrated, where applicable, into the final traffic calming study report and policy. The study and policy are expected to be completed by November of 2021.
