What are the benefits of changing these streets from one-way to two-way traffic operations?
• There will be improved circulation and access opportunities within the study area with the way-finding of motorists being improved as well. • The local traffic circulation within the study area is forecast to improve. • There will be improved traffic circulation in the vicinity of St. Josephs Hospital. • This two-way conversion supports the initiatives of the Durand Neighborhood Traffic Study to reduce cut-through traffic on streets within the neighbourhood. • The Phase 2 Conversion will provide motorists with more choices in the Mountain Access Routes (Sherman Access/Cut). • The new traffic signal at James Street and St. Joseph’s Drive will provide improved pedestrian access and street crossings in this area. This has been a concern of St. Josephs Hospital for many years. • Upon completion of the project, James Street from Guise Street southerly to the Mountain Access Routes and John Street from Strachan Street southerly to the Mountain Access Routes will function as two-way streets
