Traffic calming helps reduces the negative effects of traffic on neighborhood streets, communities, and public facilities like parks and schools.
We use traffic calming techniques when we cannot address concerns like these any other way:
Speeding
Collisions
Through traffic issues
Pedestrian safety
General traffic issues
City Council approved Manchester Road to be considered for traffic calming. Their decision was based on complaints, our review of traffic issues on Manchester Road, traffic data, and a comparison with other roadways. Before considering traffic calming measures, we will do a review. This review includes extensive public engagement. We will share information through a public meeting, called a Public Information Center (PIC). We will also assess different alternatives, based on social, economic, and environmental effects.
Above is a map of the study area we will review. This includes addresses on Manchester Road and other properties that may be affected.
For more information about traffic conditions on Manchester Road, please refer to the documents section.
For examples of traffic calming measures on other roadways in Kitchener, please refer to the documents section.

We encourage all neighborhood residents to fill out this form. Your input is key to creating a final preferred alternative design. Later in the process, you will have the chance to vote on whether to implement this design or not.
Please take our five-minute survey to let us know what you think.
Impacted residents must demonstrate 25% support to initiate the traffic calming study. At this stage, we are surveying residents to vote on whether or not they would like to see the review initiated. Your feedback is an important first step.
There will be a second survey near the end of the traffic calming review to determine if there is support to implement the preferred plan developed by staff and residents. This final survey requires that 50% of residents respond, with 60% in support of the preferred plan before work can proceed.
To request a paper copy of the survey, please contact Anjul Chauhan at 519-741-2200 ext 7374 or by email anjul.chauhan@kitchener.ca.
