The City of Delta is once again gathering resident feedback on a series of proposed traffic calming measures for the Royal York neighbourhood.
This summer, the city launched a traffic calming study in the neighbourhood based on earlier feedback from residents.
The study was to address concerns regarding traffic safety, speeding and pedestrian accessibility in the area.
The study area covers an extensive area in North Delta, bounded by Nordel Way to 112th Street.
According to the city, the project is currently in its initial stage, where a team is actively seeking input from the community to understand their concerns and suggestions better.
A second round of engagement is now underway on the project team’s draft traffic calming recommendations based on their technical analysis and the first round of engagement, having held an open house last week and currently gathering a survey.
A final report with traffic calming recommendations is to be presented to council and the Transportation Advisory Committee later this year.
A separate roadway improvement project is planned for an area comprising several streets within the study area.
Council earlier this year endorsed a new Vision Zero traffic safety plan for the city, a comprehensive approach focused on reducing traffic related fatalities and serious injuries.
Years in the making, the strategy is based on collision data analysis, public and stakeholder feedback as well as technical assessment of various road safety initiatives.
The new plan, though, will pay focus mostly on major corridors and intersection as those are the areas most collisions occur.
