Bradley Street Traffic Calming

Staff presented the results of the public engagement at the November 24, 2025 Governance and Priorities Committee Meeting and the committee recommended that Council approve the project. Council approved the project to proceed at the December 1, 2026 Regular Council Meeting.

The traffic calming process including data collection, conceptual design, public engagement, and internal stakeholders consultations began in 2023.  The Transportation Department is now working to schedule the implementation of the preferred traffic calming option identified in consultation with the neighbourhood association and the surrounding community.

The preferred traffic calming option identified by the neighbourhood association will include converting Bradley Street to one-way westbound between Wall Street and Millstone Avenue and converting Millstone Avenue to one-way northbound between Bradley Street and Rosehill Street. This will allow for the creation of a multi-use pathway along the west side of Millstone and the south side of Bradley. Additionally, a raised crosswalk will be added on Holly Avenue. The existing number of parking spaces will be retained with the new design.

These traffic calming features are anticipated to moderate speeds on Bradley Street, while seeking to minimize inconvenience for road users using Bradley Street to access the neighbourhood.  We also aim to maintain accepted response time targets for emergency vehicles.

We have taken snow and ice control into account by offering temporary features that can be changed or removed if City crews indicate this is necessary to achieve effective winter maintenance.
