Traffic is currently an issue in Johnson Heights. Adding more vehicle trips per day will only add to the issue. How is the City addressing this?

The City has commissioned a traffic study as part of the Johnson Heights Neighbourhood Plan. The impact on the intersection at Oak Drive and Highway 1 has been reviewed as part of this application.

The City’s consultants have reviewed traffic information compiled to date which indicates that over the past ten years, eleven crashes and no fatalities have been reported at this intersection.

Most of the accidents are related to single vehicle, wildlife related, or weather related and not directly attributable to intersection safety.

Furthermore, the current peak trip time for this area is around noon, and construction works would generate trips in the morning and evening.

The consultant completing the transportation study on behalf of the City for the Johnson Heights Neighbourhood Plan recommended that the workforce housing proposal includes providing a shuttle service to the lands and consideration of split shifts for the construction employees. RMR has confirmed that a shuttle service will be provided, and staff are working with RMR to evaluate the option of split shifts for the construction workers.
