Vision Zero Street Labs are a great way to work with the City to bring traffic safety improvements to your neighbourhood using adaptable traffic calming measures.

Upcoming Street Labs Engagement

Step 1: Intake

The City reviews prospective neighbourhoods for Vision Zero Street Labs engagement based on public traffic safety concerns, collision data, existing safety improvements and other technical considerations.

Previous applications and other requests for neighbourhood safety improvements received throughout the year will also be considered when selecting the neighbourhoods.

Step 2: Engagement

If your neighbourhood is selected for Street Lab engagement, the City will explore residents’ perspectives and gain insights into their lived experiences and traffic safety concerns.

Residents in neighbourhoods selected for engagement are asked to participate in the following activities:

An interactive mapping tool to pinpoint areas of concern
An in-person engagement event

The results of the engagement will be used in combination with technical data to determine if a Street Lab is needed to address traffic safety concerns or if another Safe Mobility program would be more beneficial. A What We Heard Report will be shared with the results.

Step 3: Create Plan

City staff will use what they have learned during the engagement step to develop a Street Lab Plan and share it with residents. See examples of traffic calming measures below that may be included in the Street Lab plan.

Step 4: Install

City staff will bring the Street Lab to life by installing adaptable measures to address traffic safety concerns.

Adaptable traffic calming measures allow the City to trial traffic safety solutions quickly and effectively, with the ability to make adjustments as needed. Adaptable measures may include:

Curb extensions
Two-stage crossings
Centre medians
Adaptable speed humps

Step 5: Evaluate

Community members will be given an opportunity to provide feedback on the project after the measures have been installed for approximately 3 months through a survey. This feedback will help inform any next steps.

Examples of Street Lab Installations

Street Labs use adaptable traffic calming measures to address specific traffic safety concerns. Some of these measures may be installed in your neighbourhood.

Center Median
Curb Extension
Speed Hump
Two Stage Crossing
Vibrant Crosswalk

Frequently Asked Questions

What can Street Labs achieve or improve?

Vision Zero Street Labs provide a neighbourhood and residents with:

A forum to share their experiences on the streets in their neighbourhood
An opportunity to trial new traffic safety solutions using adaptable measures
New experiences and conversations around street safety and neighbourhood livability
Meaningful options to improve traffic safety on their neighbourhood

How long do Street Lab measures remain installed?

The City will begin to evaluate the project approximately 3 to 6 months after the installation of a Street Lab. This will give the community time to experience the changes, learn and adjust if needed.

The City reviews resident feedback and technical and policy considerations to determine whether changes are needed. If no changes are identified, the project will remain in place.

Opportunities to convert the installation to permanent are reviewed through road renewal or the path to permanence process.

Why are these measures staying in over the winter?

Adaptable traffic calming measures are an opportunity to learn how we can work together to improve safety and livability.

As a winter city, understanding how the installations operate and influence street safety and livability is an important part of this learning process.

These measures are required to continue supporting safety in communities with traffic safety concerns such as speeding, shortcutting and crossing safely.

What will snow clearing look like around different measures?

Curb Extensions and Parklets

Curb extension placement has been adjusted to reduce impacts of snow and ice based on feedback from residents. Site inspections will occur to verify the effectiveness of the placement of these measures over the winter.
- Curb extensions adjacent to monowalks (where there are no boulevards) will have snow pushed to the opposite side, which would result in the curb extension having less snow. When there are monowalks on both sides, the snow will be accumulated in the middle of the road and then cleared away.
- Curb extensions adjacent to boulevards will have snow piled onto them.

Centre Medians

Snow will be pushed towards the boulevards and cleared with the rest of the windrow.

Two-stage Crossings

The crossing portion would not be bladed; if there are persistent issues that are flagged by residents or community project teams they can be addressed using a skid steer.

Bike Lanes

Fully divided lanes will be maintained by bike lane crews. Sections or partial areas will be addressed by the adjacent roadway clearing. This may result in areas that are packed with snow. In the event that these are needed to be cleared, Active pathways can respond on special request.

Traffic Diverter

In most instances, the crosswalk in between the curbs would not experience regular clearing and would require a special request.

Rubber Speed Humps

These areas will be cleared with the adjacent road. Truck plows will work to provide a clean and passable surface. If residual snow is left additional clearings can be requested.

Where can I report damaged installations?

If any issues are experienced with these adaptable traffic measures, we encourage residents to contact 311.

Once the City becomes aware that maintenance is required, it should take 1-2 business days to complete the repair (weather and severity of repairs permitting).

If there is severe damage during the winter, replacements or repairs will need to wait until the Spring.

As a community member of a Street Lab project advisory team, who do I contact if I have concerns about snow and ice clearing around my Street Lab?
