That report C 49/2019 Pedestrian Crossover Priority List BE RECEIVED for information. 2. That $10,000 BE ALLOCATED for a pedestrian crossover educational program. Executive Summary: N/A Background: At its February 20, 2019 meeting, the Environment, Transportation and Public Safety Standing Committee made the following recommendation in response to report S 90/2018 Pedestrian Crossovers: 1. THAT a prioritized list of pedestrian crossover locations, along with a campaign to educate Windsor road users on pedestrian crossovers, BE REFERRED to 2019 capital budget deliberations. 2. THAT Traffic By law 9148 BE AMENDED as listed and attached in Appendix 3 of this report, and, 3. THAT the City Solicitor BE DIRECTED to prepare the necessary documents to amend the by law. This report provides the requested prioritized list of pedestrian crossover locations and details of an educational campaign for Windsor road users. Supplementary Agenda - Special Meeting of Council - April 1, 2019 2019 Operating & Captial Budget Page 5 of 124 Discussion: Prioritized List of Pedestrian Crossover Locations Report S 90/2019 Pedestrian Crossovers presented a list of pedestrian crossover requests that have been received to date. At two of these locations (Wyandotte Street East at Chilver Road and Prince Road at Barrymore Lane), pedestrian crossovers have been installed. To prioritize among the remaining locations that meet warrant, Administration sorted those that meet warrant for a pedestrian crossover based on the following criteria, in order: 1. Pedestrian collisions in a five-year period (locations with more collisions are ranked higher) 2. Whether there are other nearby controlled crossing opportunities (locations with no other nearby opportunities are ranked higher) 3. Pedestrian and vehicle volumes (locations with higher combined pedestrian and vehicle volumes are ranked higher) The prioritized list of locations reviewed to date is provided as Table 1. A summary of pedestrian crossover levels and types is provided in Appendix 1. Table 1: Prioritized List of Pedestrian Crossing Locations Minimum Pedestrian Rank Location Crossover Level & Type Warranted 1 Drouillard Rd. at Richmond St. Level 2 Type B 2 Goyeau St. south of Elliot St. (Food Basics) Level 2 Type B 3 College Ave. W west of California Ave. Level 2 Type B 4 University Ave. W at Patricia Rd. Level 2 Type B 5 Lauzon Rd. at Clairview Ave. (Ganatchio Trail) Level 2 Type B 6 Riverside Dr. at Peace Fountain (Coventry Gardens) Level 2 Type B 7 Calderwood Ave. east of Caribou Cres. (Walkerville Homesite Trail) Level 2 Type D 8 McNorton St. at Radcliff Ave. Level 2 Type B 9 Grand Marais Rd W at Longfellow Ave. (Christ the King C.E.S.) Level 2 Type C 10 Huron Church Rd. at Peter St. Level 2 Type B The list above is prioritized based on criteria that were focused around need for the crossing; however, other concerns may justify the crossing being constructed out of sequence, including: Coordination with a larger project (e.g. where a pedestrian crossover is installed as part of a road reconstruction) Supplementary Agenda - Special Meeting of Council - April 1, 2019 2019 Operating & Captial Budget Page 6 of 124 Coordination with development (e.g. where a new development necessitates a new pedestrian crossing, which is constructed as an off-site improvement paid for by the developer) Where funds are available from other sources (e.g. ward funds, or where a pedestrian crossover is paid for by a BIA or local business) Education Campaign The safety and effectiveness of pedestrian crossovers is dependent on drivers and pedestrians knowing how to use them properly. In order to reach these audiences, communication tactics must be easily understandable and able to motivate behavioural change, as well as incorporate mass, niche and interpersonal communication tactics aimed at increasing public awareness. An education campaign will be key in instilling this understanding. Because “Level 2” pedestrian crossovers were legalized by the Province of Ontario only recently in 2016, they are a relatively new form of traffic control throughout the province. Other municipalities and the Ministry of Transportation have developed – and continue to develop – a range of approaches for educational campaigns about these devices. While some educational elements are common across jurisdictions, Administration recommends adopting a flexible approach that can adapt as the performance and results of educational campaigns
