TAC highlights quick-build traffic-calming and high-injury network work as top safety priorities
Summary
The Stantec plan identifies a high-injury network and prioritizes quick-build traffic-calming measures; TAC members urged pairing crash data with observed near-miss reports and a public 'sites of concern' database.
Stantec's final strategy recommends a detailed crash-assessment to identify a high-injury network and lists short-term, low-cost 'quick-build' interventions—speed bumps, curb narrowing, temporary barriers and speed transition zones—for locations where safety data or community input warrant immediate action.
Multiple TAC members cautioned that relying solely on historical crash data overlooks on-street observations and near misses. One member urged a community-sourced database, saying, "we need to collect consistent data so we can compare and prioritize one area against another." The committee asked staff to include an approach for combining crash records with community-identified safety concerns in the implementation plan.
