PLANNING FOR SUCCESSFUL NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

The City of Nepean borders the City of Ottawa to the south and west and has mainly developed since World War II to its current population of 116,000 people. The purpose of this study was to create a framework which would result in a practical approach to traffic management that reflects current public sentiment and values, and acknowledges the impact traffic has upon the quality of life experienced by its residents. The City's objective was to put in place a policy which dealt with how future studies should be undertaken, what traffic management devices are acceptable and under what conditions, and have this policy endorsed by the public, other municipal staff, stakeholders and the politicians.
