Recommendation:

THAT report S 155/2020, “Wyandotte Street East Corridor Review,” BE RECEIVED for information.

Executive Summary:

As directed by Council (CR563/2019 & CR265/2020), this report provides information on:

• The feasibility of a lane reduction on Wyandotte Street East between St. Luke Road and Lauzon Road, and

• Projects in the planning stages that can be accelerated to reduce active transportation pressures along Wyandotte Street East.

To determine the feasibility of a lane reduction for the identified section of Wyandotte Street East, a corridor review was carried out. The conclusions of the review are as follows:

• Reducing the number of lanes for through traffic on Wyandotte Street East is not recommended as it would cause poor levels of service and high amounts of delay and congestion.

• Maintaining status quo (not reducing lanes but also not providing cycling facilities along the corridor) will perpetuate poor and marginal levels of service already present at certain points along the corridor. With moderate traffic growth, operations will worsen.
