| Collingwood, ON [3 July 2024] – The Town of Collingwood is conducting a Speed Limit Review, to ensure all multi-modal road users can provide input on how they feel the Town can enhance their road travel experience. The Master Mobility and Transportation Plan (MMTP) includes an expert-conducted safety screening of all roads within the Town of Collingwood which will include a review of any collision history, road design, and road hazards. The Speed Limit Review will gather traffic data from various locations around the community including most residential streets and all collector roads within the Town’s boundaries. Together, the data will inform the decision process related to setting speed limits within the Town. This review will consider both the benefits and disadvantages of speed limits for local and collector roads, either Town-wide or in select locations. Community input and engagement is critical to ensure an informed and successful outcome. Residents are invited to complete a short Speed Limit Review survey by July 26 at engage.collingwood.ca/speed-limit-review. In addition to the survey, community members can fill out a ‘Traffic Speeds – Locations of Opportunity’ form, on the project page. Hard copies of both are available at Town Hall, 97 Hurontario Street. Chat with members of Council and staff at the Farmer’s Market booth on Saturday, July 6, about the Speed Limit Review. An open house/ virtual session will also be scheduled later this summer. Subscribe to project updates on the Engage Page to be notified by email. The estimated time of review completion is set to be late 2024. Based on results and recommendations, the impact on other municipal projects, the implementation plan, and funding will be discussed in early 2025. Please visit the project page at engage.collingwood.ca/speed-limit-review to view project information, take the survey, and subscribe to be notified of upcoming engagement opportunities and other project updates. |
