Exhibition, Clarke and Powell Traffic Calming Project

Exhibition Street, Clarke Street West and Powell Street West are being prioritized for traffic calming plans because they were designated as Community Safety Zones by Guelph City Council.

We will design and implement physical traffic calming measures that help drivers travel at the posted speed and reduce the severity of collisions on these streets.

Proposed traffic calming measures on Exhibition Street, Clarke Street West and Powell Street West include curb extensions, speed tables, school house pavement marking and bollards. To learn more about these measures and how they will be used, review the plans and information posted to this page.

How can I participate right now?

Review the proposed traffic calming plans and share insights that may help inform the placement of measures.

Have a look at the boards from the open house to see the proposed traffic calming plans including project timelines and what measures are proposed for each street.

Local knowledge such as drainage concerns, informal crossing locations, or notable street features are especially valuable. These fine-grained details help City staff better understand on-the-ground conditions to develop more effective, well-informed final designs.
