• Under existing conditions, traffic operations are already poor or marginal at some locations along the corridor.

• Reducing the number of through lanes on Wyandotte Street East in the study area will have a significant effect on traffic operations along the corridor, causing poor operations of the corridor as a whole.

• Even with the existing number of through lanes, traffic operations along the corridor are expected to significantly worsen with even moderate growth in traffic volumes.

• The westbound right turn lane on Wyandotte Street East at Devonshire Road can be eliminated without significant impacts to traffic operations. The elimination of this turning lane would allow a new segment of bicycle lane on Wyandotte Street, which would close a gap in the cycling network, as shown in Figure 4.

• The eastbound left turn lane on Wyandotte Street East at George Street is not required for intersection capacity; however, actually eliminating this turning lane is likely not possible without reconstructing Wyandotte Street East at the intersection and along the eastbound and westbound approaches.

• Windsor Fire & Rescue Service & Windsor Police Service both indicated that a reduction in the number of lanes on Wyandotte Street East may negatively affect emergency response and may increase response times.

Next Steps – Wyandotte Street East Corridor

While removing travel lanes is likely unfeasible along most of the Wyandotte Street East corridor, other options are available for most of the corridor to accommodate east-west cyclist travel. Figure 5 provides a summary of the high-level options that appear most promising for each segment of the corridor.
