Limehouse Neighbourhood Traffic Calming


Over the last few years, the Town conducted an operational safety review to assess the need for traffic calming measures within the Limehouse Hamlet. The review was initiated due to multiple concerns from residents regarding speeding, road safety and aggressive driving. A proposed traffic calming plan has been created to further support safety for all road users.

Consultation with the community is an important aspect of the Town’s Traffic Calming Implementation Protocol. Residents living within the neighbourhood and motorists driving on the affected roads are encouraged to participate in an in-person and/or online Public Information Center (PIC) to review the proposed traffic calming plan and provide feedback.

The in-person PIC will be on February 22 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. at the Limehouse Memorial Hall. A short presentation will commence at 6:30 p.m.

The online PIC presentation can be viewed on this page where residents can evaluate the proposed Traffic Calming Plan and provide input using the interactive display materials.

Residents are encouraged to provide comments in person at the Public Information Centre or within the Question and Comments section of this page. Comments will be accepted until March 31, 2024.

  • Share I attended the meeting and heard the presentation and have these comments and questions: * The boundaries you are using for Limehouse do not reflect the actual residents who live in Limehouse. As was pointed out in the meeting, these dotted line boundaries are the old NEC boundaries. This means that many residents affected by speeding in Limehouse were left out of the original study area. As well, notice of the meeting was not sent by the town to all residents in Limehouse. Residents outside of the study area and those whose mail is delivered via postal box units by the school, etc. were left out. * I raised a question at the meeting about the speed cushions and their effectiveness in winter with snow and ice. I understand this question was captured in the meeting notes but I want to just raise it again since I think it could have an impact on plowing the road in winter and I do not it to be forgotten. See link to a report from Quebec on snow cushion as part of traffic calming- pg. 15. I would hope that further investigations on the use of these is done where snow is a regular occurrence (not Oakville as mentioned in the meeting where snow fall amounts are different than here in North Halton.) https://nacto.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Berthod-C.-2011.pdf *There were comments at the meeting about more speed humps being needed on 5th Line and on 22nd Sideroad. I agree and would also like to point out that these are rural roads with no real shoulders and often not a place for pedestrians to move to in order to get out of the way of speeding. More speed humps to slow traffic in more places is needed to reflect the needs of the hikers and cyclists. *I am wondering about the necessity of signs announcing the traffic calming neighborhood- we have too many signs in some places now. The school zone and community safety zone signage with increased fines seem to be better in my opinion. *Permanent Radar Message Board- will this be like we have now on 22nd Sideroad or will it be different. The ones that flash red get more attention related to speed than just white signage when your speed is shown. There is one on the 4th line that used to flash red or green depending on your speed but now just shows red even when below the speed limit. That one does not seem to be working so I am curious what type you are proposing. * My last comment is in reference to the last paragraph on your web page for this study about road safety and the link to road watch. When several of the local residents were complaining about speeding and taking pics and licenses and sending them to a police contact over the last year, no one ever mentioned this site. And it was not highlighted at the meeting that I am aware of. This info needs to be widely circulated.

    SusanCox asked about 2 months ago

    Hello, Susan.

    Thank you kindly for taking the time provide us with your valuable feedback and comments regarding the proposed project. As previously mentioned, all feedback will be taken into consideration in preparation of the final recommendations report to Council. 

    Regarding the plowing concerns you brought forward, further discussion with our Public Works department has confirmed that the new speed cushions will not impede winter road maintenance operations.

    Lastly, I would like to mention that once the Final recommendations report is uploaded onto the Let's Talk HH project page we will be sending an email to everyone that attended the Public Information Centre. Notifications will also be sent to all the visitors of this page that have registered.

    Once that information reaches you, please feel free to share it with anyone that was is interested but was not advised.

    Once again thank you and all the best.

    Kind regards, 

    Roumen Kotev

    If the proposed measures are endorsed by Council we are anticipating the installation to begin after June 17, 2024.

    Brian Hutchison asked 2 months ago

    Good afternoon, Brian

    Thank you for taking the time to review the proposed plan and provide us with your comments.

    In the past we have not had any speeding concerns in the section of Fifth Line between the curve and the bridge since it is a short section.

    Havig said that staff will collect speed data to determine if the screening criterion for the implementation of traffic calming devices is warranted.

    The trigger would be an Operating Speed (speed at or below which 85 % of vehicles travel) of 65 km/h or higher.

    Once staff has collected and reviewed the data a determination will be made if an additional speed hump is warranted.

    If you have any questions, please let me know.

    Kind regards,

    Limehouse89 asked 3 months ago

    As part of the Limehouse Neighbourhood Traffic Calming Plan staff is recommending the installation of two (2) speed cushions on 22 Side Road east of Fifth Line.

    The first one will be located in between the two school parking lot entrances. The proposed location for the second speed cushion is near Elizabeth Street.

    Mike Jolliffe asked 3 months ago

    Hello Mike and thank you for taking the time to review the proposed project.

    There is a post-implementation data collection that allows staff to determine whether the implemented measures achieved the desired results. Those results will be posted on the Let's Talk Halton Hills Project Page as a before and after comparison. Once staff determines that intrusive traffic calming measures are warranted, those become permanent and will not be removed.

    Kind regards.

  • Share Unfortunately I am not able to attend the February 22nd meeting. Having being a resident of Limehouse for over 35 years we are still experiencing dump truck traffic, large delivery or transport trucks crossing the 5th line bridge and speeding cars/trucks. My suggestion is at a minimum to add speed bumps at 5th and 22nd, larger signs for the dump trucks. Hoping there will be a resolution to our traffic woes. on Facebook Share Unfortunately I am not able to attend the February 22nd meeting.
