Complete Safe Street Study Strathcona and Kirkendall

The City of Hamilton, in response to concerns from the residents of the Strathcona and Kirkendall Neighbourhoods, has engaged Dillon Consulting Limited to create a Complete Streets Safety Report Strathcona and Kirkendall Neighbourhoods. This initiative, to further progress being made through Hamilton’s Strategic Road Safety Program and Vision Zero Action Plan, aims to develop tailored solutions that can reduce traffic speeds, improve public spaces, and improve safety for all road users of all ages and abilities.
The study will concentrate on residential and collector streets within the area bounded by Queen Street, Highway 403, the mountain escarpment, and the CN rail line north of Barton Street E.
Last week the City staff launched the public portion of the study. In-person interactive meetings were held for each community. Attendees were provided an overview of the study area, highlighting current transportation challenges and opportunities and offering a platform for them to express their concerns about traffic safety.
