Overview
The City of Ottawa is undertaking a Traffic Calming study for Knoxdale Road between West Hunt Club Road and Woodroffe Avenue. This initiative responds to community concerns about speeding, as well as pedestrian and cyclist safety along this corridor.
The goal of the study is to develop a plan that supports a safer and more comfortable street environment for all road users while maintaining access for vehicles, including transit and emergency services.
Following data collection and consultation with internal stakeholders, City staff have developed a recommended plan. We are now seeking feedback from residents and stakeholders to help finalize the recommendations.
Recommended Plan
The recommended plan includes a variety of traffic calming measures tailored to address the specific needs of Knoxdale Road. These measures include:
- Speed cushions
- Cycle-friendly ride-over bulb-outs
- Precast concrete curbs with delineators
- Bicycle lanes (reducing the width of travel lanes to 3.5m) and super sharrows
- Pedestrian safety improvements including ladder crosswalk markings
- Connections to multi-use pathways
A detailed overview of the recommendations is available in the materials below:
Online Consultation
We invite you to review the materials and provide your feedback by completing our online survey. Your input is essential to ensuring the final plan reflects the needs and preferences of the community.
The survey will be open for three weeks from May 2 to May 23, 2025.
