Manor Drive Traffic Calming

Public Works provides traffic calming solutions where appropriate in order to influence driver behavior and create more livable neighborhood streets. Manor Drive ranked fifth on the 2021 Neighborhood Traffic Management Program Scoresheet with a score of 76 out of 100.

In 2016, a sidewalk project was completed on Manor Drive, and as part of this project, traffic calming devices were installed on the north end of the street. These devices continue to work effectively to reduce the operating speeds on this portion of the roadway. However, on the southern portion of Manor Drive where traffic calming devices are not present, vehicle operating speeds are higher than desirable.

We intend to work closely with neighborhood residents to properly identify their concerns and then develop strategies to moderate traffic speeds and reduce the number and severity of potential collisions. It is the goal of Public Works to find ways to reduce traffic operating speed in the safest and most effective way possible.
