Project Background

There are two components to the Main Street Project: 1. Infrastructure Renewal – which will see new municipal services installed in 2018; 2. Streetscape Concepts – which was developed in coordination with the Lambeth Community Improvement Plan, parts of which will be incorporated into the restoration works for the 2018 construction project.

Design Principles & Approach

Page 12: Lambeth Main Street Streetscape Improvements · Lambeth Main Street Streetscape Improvements Open House October 5th, 2017. Agenda 1. Introduction 2. Project Background 3. Context

Design Principles

1. Establish a vision, development tools and implementation strategies incorporating great street principles2. Develop a comprehensive complete street over long term implementation3. Renew infrastructure and servicing4. Provide pedestrian accessibility, comfort and amenity5. Reinforce the neighbourhood characteristics6. Enhance connectivity and establish a neighbourhood destination7. Stimulate placemaking opportunities and civic pride

Gateway features at Colonel Talbot Road and Campbell Street establish a strong sense of place along Main Street.

Potential Gateway features include:• Community space for free events and activities • Public art • Activated corner uses• Improved sight lines through plaza• Enhanced lighting in the plaza

Streetscape Concepts

Page 19: Lambeth Main Street Streetscape Improvements · Lambeth Main Street Streetscape Improvements Open House October 5th, 2017. Agenda 1. Introduction 2. Project Background 3. Context

Lane Configuration: Existing Conditions & Opportunities

• Between 2012 and 2016 daily through traffic volumes on Main Street decreased by 19%• The two signalized intersections operate below their theoretical capacities during the AM and PM peak hours• The reduction in traffic demand presented an opportunity to reconfigure the cross-section (conducting a “Road

Diet”) to free-up real estate for other uses

Signalized Intersection

Page 20: Lambeth Main Street Streetscape Improvements · Lambeth Main Street Streetscape Improvements Open House October 5th, 2017. Agenda 1. Introduction 2. Project Background 3. Context

Lane Configuration: Analysis of 3-Lane Configuration

• A 3-lane cross-section is recommended (one through lane per direction and a centre two-way left-turn lane)

• The 3-lane cross-section will maintain access to the properties along Main Street, while keeping through traffic moving

• Dedicated left-turn lanes at both signalized intersections are recommended

• Analysis of the 3-Lane cross section at the signalized intersections indicated that the roadway geometry will operate below capacity in the present and the forecast future (2026)

• Controlled pedestrian crossings midblock at the Bainard Street or Routledge Road intersections are recommended to improve connectivity and safety
