Final survey now open
The City of Kitchener initiated a traffic calming review for Dumfries Avenue in October 2023, in response to concerns regarding traffic volume and vehicle speeds raised by area residents.
Since that time, Transportation Services has assessed the existing traffic conditions along Dumfries Avenue and evaluated alternative solutions to improve safety and address resident concerns. A draft version of the preferred traffic calming plan was presented to area residents through a virtual public information centre held on February 8, 2024 and subsequently posted on the EngageWR Dumfries Ave webpage. Based on feedback from residents, the draft preferred plan has been finalized.
The City of Kitchener’s Traffic Calming Policy requires 60% support from directly affected residents, based on a response rate of at least 50% of all directly affected residents. To indicate your support or opposition to the proposed traffic calming plan, a survey is available for all directly affected residents of Dumfries Avenue, as well as neighbouring roadways to determine if there is support for implementation of the traffic calming plan.
To indicate your support or opposition to the proposed traffic calming plan, please complete our final survey. We require that half of affected residents respond, with 60% in support of the preferred plan before work can proceed. Please note that each address will only have one vote. All directly affected residents of Dumfries Road , as well as neighbouring roadways, are eligible to take part in this survey. The survey closes Wednesday, April 3, 2024
The results of the final survey will be shared on the Dumfries Avenue project page by Friday, April 12, 2024.
To request a paper copy of the survey, please contact Connor Payne at 519-741-2200 ext. 7374 or by email connor.payne@kitchener.ca
This project is now complete. Please note that no final survey will be administered. In summer 2024, it was determined by Council that we will no longer implement safety improvements through a formal traffic calming program. We have moved to a hot spot improvement model instead.
