The project focuses on identifying low-cost improvements that can enhance traffic safety in the area. Some examples of these improvements include better signs and road markings, increasing sight distance for drivers, adjusting traffic signal timing, and implementing speed limit changes or other measures to calm traffic.

One specific areas of focus this year will be safety improvements around schools to improve pedestrian crossings, parking and visibility conflicts, striping, speeding concerns, updated signage, landscaping, etc. Town staff are also working on compiling the 2026 Traffic Crash report, which reviews crash and traffic data from throughout the year. Once the report is complete, the findings will be used to identify locations where low-cost improvements can be applied to reduce the risk of accidents and improve overall traffic safety.

    The Town continues to advance its Low-Cost Safety Improvement Program, focusing on practical, cost-effective strategies to enhance traffic safety across the community. These improvements prioritize measures such as updated signage and pavement markings, improved sight distance, signal timing adjustments and targeted speed management solutions.

    As part of this effort, Town staff have begun data collection and evaluation at several key locations, including:

    • 11th St near Grand Ave
    • 7th St at Hemlock St, Garden Dr, and Stone Mountain Dr
    • Garden Dr at 3rd St
    • Dakota Way between CR 21 and Hollister Lake Rd (Sundance Dr)
    • Walnut St
    • Green River Dr

    A major area of focus in 2026 is improving safety around schools. Planned enhancements aim to address pedestrian crossings, parking and visibility conflicts, roadway striping, speeding concerns, updated signage, and landscaping improvements to create safer routes for students, families and staff.

    In addition, Town staff are currently compiling the 2026 Traffic Crash Report, which analyzes crash trends and traffic data from across the community. Once complete, this report will help identify priority areas where low-cost improvements can be implemented to reduce the risk of crashes and improve overall roadway safety.
