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,

Two additional public open houses will be held to discuss any final issues with the proposed plans before the survey is closed.

Trial / temporary traffic calming measures will be implemented on High Street and Highland Road study areas in fall 2023 and spring 2024.
