The City of Burnaby is conducting an Edmonds Speed and Traffic Management Study to better understand speed and traffic concerns and identify potential improvements for the area bounded by Edmonds Street, Kingsway, Canada Way and the New Westminster border. The goal is to enhance road safety for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists while preserving neighbourhood liveability.

We are now in Phase 2 of the study, where the project team will present findings from Phase 1 and share the recommendations for speed and traffic management measures.

Review the What We Heard report from Phase 1 for more information.

Thank you to all who provided feedback and attended open houses. Stay tuned for further developments on this project.

As sustained development growth continues in the city and across the region, local and regional traffic volumes have increased, posing access and operational challenges for residents within the neighbourhood. This study is aligned with council-adopted goals and objectives within Connecting Burnaby: Burnaby’s Transportation Plan and coincides with significant cycling infrastructure upgrades in the area through the Edmonds Town Centre Cycling Network Project, which aims to create a connected and safe cycling network that is suitable for cyclists of all ages and abilities.

We are considering the following potential improvements:

• Speed humps
• Traffic circles
• Traffic diverters
• Turn restrictions during peak hours
