SUMMARY

 

Based on the feedback from the community meeting held on January 22, 2024, staff developed a short-term traffic calming plan (Attachment II) for Orchard Avenue to improve the operations of the existing roundabout at Joyce Street and reduce speeding from Joyce Street to Mission Boulevard. The short-term plans propose striping and vertical delineation to reduce a lane in each direction on Orchard Avenue from Joyce Street to Mission Boulevard and additional delineation for the roundabout at Joyce Street. A short-term approach has many benefits, including reduced costs and time of completion to install effective safety improvements. City staff are working to finalize the short-term plans and specifications and anticipate returning to Council in August to implement the project. Staff is seeking feedback from the CIAC on the short-term plans.
