On December 12, 2022, Council passed the following motion:

Whereas on May 12, 2022, City Council approved the Neighbourhood Traffic Management Guide, which incorporates the latest best-practices in traffic calming; and,

Whereas the deployment of in-road flexible bollards is a temporary, easy to implement traffic calming measure; and,

Whereas depending upon the road characteristics this may be a low-cost traffic calming solution to assist in speed reduction; and,

Whereas this process will only apply to local and collector roads; and,

Whereas staff will review for operational safety related concerns; and,

Whereas the use of flexible bollards is warranted where vulnerable road users are present, such as residential areas, school zones, and park areas;

Therefore be it resolved that if both Ward Councillors are in agreement, a formal request in writing from both Ward Councillors be submitted to the Commissioner of Community & Operations Services for staff review and that the cost be referred to the 2023 budget for consideration.
