Consultation has concluded

Colwood is committed to involving residents in increasing the comfort and safety of their neighbourhoods.

In 2021, the City began a program of installing temporary pilot projects to test and assess various methods for managing vehicle traffic and increasing the comfort of all users.

The City designed and implemented a temporary traffic calming measure for approximately 90 days, then used feedback and evaluation to determine whether the measures were effective.

Each pilot project is intended to help the neighbourhood and the City clarify concerns, assess the effectiveness of various approaches and determine whether a similar measure should be implemented permanently at that location, or not.

In September 2021, Colwood Council resolved to make the speed cushions on Mt. View Avenue permanent. See the Latest News below for more details.


The discussion forum is now closed. Many of your neighbours shared their thoughts about the impact these temporary measures have on your neighbourhood. Read the report to Council on August 30, 2021.

    Thank you to the many neighbours who shared their thoughts about the recent Traffic Calming Pilot Project on Let’sTalkColwood.ca.

    As noted in our letters on April 8 and 21, 2021, the City of Colwood conducted a temporary traffic calming pilot project this summer by adding speed cushions designed to encourage reduced vehicle speeds and volumes.

    The traffic calming pilot project was in place for approximately 90 days and evaluated on an ongoing basis as neighbours shared their views by joining the conversation on LetsTalkColwood.ca.

    Staff presented a summary of the input received to Council on August 30, 2021. Not all, but most of the community comments regarding the speed cushions indicated they were a positive step in reducing vehicle speeds and increasing safety in the area.

    As a result, Council resolved to make the speed cushions permanent.

    The community’s input into this summer’s four traffic calming pilot projects has helped to clarify concerns, assess the effctiveness of various approaches and guide Council decisions about permanent improvements in Colwood neighbourhoods.

    We are grateful for the healthy discussion as the City continues to work with you and your neighbours to explore options for increasing the comfort and safety of neighbourhoods.

    City staff have reviewed, scoped and assessed how cars, bikes and pedestrians use Mt. View Avenue to assess methods for reducing vehicle speeds and increasing safety for pedestrians and cyclists. To do this:

    Three speed cushions will be installed at regular intervals along the length of Mt. View Avenue.

    The speed cushions will require that drivers slow down, increasing the safety of pedestrians and cyclists as well as the comfort of the neighbourhood.

    90-Day Timeline: This traffic calming measure will be implemented within the next four weeks. It will remain in place as a trial for approximately 90 days, and then temporary measures not accepted will be removed. We'll be evaluating it on an ongoing basis over the 90 days with your input.
