Project Overview

The City of Peterborough launched the “Calm Streets PTBO” initiative in 2020. Through this initiative, a new Traffic Calming Policy and Toolkit were developed to guide how City staff consider requests for traffic calming measures made by residents on Local Streets, Low-capacity Collectors, and High Capacity Collectors in residential neighbourhoods within Peterborough. The Traffic Calming project also resulted in a Toolkit (or menu) of solutions that the City will consider for use in Traffic Calming projects.

• Traffic Calming Policy Report: This report includes details about the traffic calming policy, the process, the tool kit and relevant background information about the traffic calming study.
• Pilot Study Report: This report provides details about the five pilot traffic calming studies.
• The Traffic Calming Request Form provides a way for community members with the opportunity to suggest future traffic calming study areas. You can also review the process of how a Traffic Calming Request is assessed by City staff.
• Traffic Calming in Peterborough is a map of the status of all traffic calming studies across the City,

• High Street between Lansdowne Street and Sherbrooke Street
• Highland Road between Chemong Road and Fairbairn Street
• Sherburne Street, Morrow Street, Montgomery Street

Residents will receive a survey in the mail with the results of the study, as well as an invitation to a Public Information Center to be held prior to the survey completion. Once survey results have been finalized, a report will be delivered to City Council in the Spring of 2025 with the results of the pilot projects.

Due to the ice storm, the survey response deadline has been extended to Friday April 11, 2025.

Thank you for your understanding.
