During the planning phase of the Nith Peninsula Residential Development, the developer was required to complete a Traffic Impact Study detailing how the increase in traffic generated from the new development would impact the existing streets and intersections in the area. The study indicated that traffic would negatively impact the east intersection of King Edward Street and Dundas Street West.
County of Brant staff have worked with a traffic consultant to review possible options and together, created a series of updates to Dundas Street West to ensure the best outcomes for pedestrian and vehicular safety.

Report # RPT-0289-23 was approved by County of Brant Council, detailing the background of the development and the traffic impact study
The timeline provided on this page outlines the necessary updates in the order they will occur.
Other points of interest
All three intersections will be designed by a traffic engineering consultant, with annual intersection reviews conducted from at least 2024 to 2029. The reviews will be used to confirm the changing level of service and predictions of the Traffic Impact Study as development occurs. Studies will be shared to this project page as they are available.
Data will also be collected on vehicle volumes and speeds to determine the effectiveness of the implemented traffic calming measures. Additional solutions may be considered if issues are identified.

Timeline
July 18, 2023: Report approved by Council
Dundas Street Improvements has finished this stage
Phase 1 (Fall 2023): Roundabout installed on Dundas Street West
Dundas Street Improvements is currently at this stage
As a traffic calming measure, a roundabout was installed on Dundas Street West at Summerwind Drive (new street constructed 160 metres west of Gort Avenue).
Phase 2: All-way stop removed
this is an upcoming stage for Dundas Street Improvements
The all-way stop at Zavarella Court and Dundas Street West has been removed. The removal of the all-way stop was required as the all-way stop would create a traffic bottleneck leading to other unintended consequences.
Phase 3: Parking on Dundas Street West limited to one side of the road
this is an upcoming stage for Dundas Street Improvements
Parking on Dundas Street West from the roundabout west to King Edward Street is now limited to one side of the road. This is required so that two-way traffic can safely flow in this section of road.
Phase 4: Traffic Signals installed
this is an upcoming stage for Dundas Street Improvements
Traffic Signals have been installed at the west intersection of Dundas Street West and King Edward Street. This creates a safe intersection for pedestrians and vehicles.
Phase 5: Median Island installed
this is an upcoming stage for Dundas Street Improvements
A Median Island has been installed at the East Intersection of Dundas Street West and King Edward Street to remove left turning from Dundas Street West to King Edward Street. This intersection required safety improvements, and this option will provide a safer intersection for pedestrians and vehicles, and keep traffic flowing on King Edward Street.
