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

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.

    While the addition of a sidewalk on the East side of Dundas Street West is being considered, pedestrians may continue to legally cross Dundas Street West at any point, and only crossing when it is safe to do so.

    JIMMI asked about 1 year ago

    To assist with clarity, we’ve itemized the responses to your questions below.

    • The directional island (porkchop) recommendation was reviewed, approved, and will be designed by independent traffic engineers. 
    • As was mentioned above, with the growth of the County, we want to ensure a safe, walkable community so a sidewalk on the east side of Dundas Street, from the proposed roundabout to King Edward Street, is being considered.
    • As existing residents will also benefit from new traffic signals, installation costs will be covered through development charges and tax levies.  
    • The Official Plan has been submitted to the Province for approval.  
    • The decisions made for Dundas Street were approved by the County of Brant.
    • Types of roads (local, collector, arterial) are covered in the Official Plan and the Transportation Master Plan.
    • The design of the directional island (porkchop) follows Ontario guidelines.
    • The road layout for the Nith Peninsula Subdivision was approved through the subdivision agreement process.

    With the current plan a safe crossing can be made at the proposed roundabout or at the proposed lights at King Edward Street. As previously mentioned, the County of Brant wants to ensure a safe, walkable community so a sidewalk on the east side of Dundas Street, from the proposed roundabout to King Edward Street, is being considered for this area.

    Though the County of Brant works to ensure proper signage where possible, 50 km/h signs are not required in an urban setting. According to Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation regarding speed limits, if there is no posted speed limit in an urban area the observed speed shall be 50km/h.

    Jimmi asked about 1 year ago

    To clarify, the option was considered, and has been determined that it is not a viable option due to the following:

    • The addition of another intersection on King Edward Street near three other intersections would cause additional traffic flow concerns.
    • An existing hydro easement on the west side of the cemetery property.
    • Drainage from the Zavarella subdivision routes through the cemetery.
    • There are no other lands in the Paris area designated for cemetery use so space is to be preserved.

    Though all streets in the County of Brant are monitored by County Staff for safety concerns, Developers are required to complete the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) as a part of the subdivision approval process. If residents have safety concerns regarding street locations within the County, we encourage everyone to learn more about the Brant Safe Streets program where residents can request a Traffic Calming Review.

    Please reconsider what you deem to be as the only option for dundas and king edward. We need to be able to turn left at the stop sign of dundas and king edward. Residents in our area need to be heard. We need to be able to turn left to go toward downtown. Not make a longer drive through chaos of new develoment traffic to be able to turn a simple left. I go to work at 6am in the morning and never have trouble turning left to go to work Make the stop sign have a right hand turn lane and a left hand turn lane please. On paper this must seem like a good idea to you who do not live over here. Us impacted by this need to be heard.

    All options have been thoroughly reviewed and it has been determined that the option presented best promotes safety as well as optimizes traffic flow for the area.  This left hand turn movement has been moved to the west intersection of Dundas Street West and King Edward Street. As part of the plan, the County has agreed to monitor the traffic flow to confirm that the predicted analysis works in reality.  Any deviations to that, will be studied and taken into consideration for developing additional improvements to safety and traffic management. 

    Thank you,

  • Share I've ask this question but will elaborate. Will pedestrian crossing be installed at Zavarella or pedestrian just cross when there are no cars. Also will the posted speed be reduced 40 km as has been done along Irongate.

    Pedestrian crossing will not be installed at Zavarella Court at this time. A safe crossing can be made at the proposed roundabout or at the proposed lights at King Edward Street. County staff will continually review the situation for safety of all right of way users.

    The new Official Plan (OP) does suggest that local urban streets have a 40 km/hr speed limit.  A future council report will consider implementation of this once the new  OP is approved by the Province.

    Sidewalks on Dundas Street West are not part of the development but will be considered as part of future upgrades to this area.

    The Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was completed based on a Turning Movement Count (TMC) that was done at the time of the applicant submission.  The TMC’s are completed on a weekday during peak AM (7-9) and PM (3-6) timeframes, to represent typical traffic patterns surrounding the proposed development. 

    The reconstruction of Laurel Street focused on improving the water and sanitary services to residents within the area and providing a protected pedestrian facility for those using the park space.
