That the memorandum and presentation regarding Town Trails Update be received; and 2. That the Active Transportation and Traffic Safety Advisory Committee comments regarding Town Trails Update be received and referred to staff for consideration and further action as appropriate. Background The Town of Aurora’s (the Town’s) Trails Master Plan was last updated in 2011. At such time, the trail network, included off-road trails, on-street and other designated routes. Apart from existing trails, most new trails were built on new developments lands, and often constructed by developer, or constructed by the Town via consultant/ contractor, and in some cases, constructed by the Town’s Parks Division staff. Since 2011, 17.5 km of off-road trails have been added, either through new segments of trail within existing natural heritage systems, or completely new trail systems, including the David Tomlinson Nature Reserve Trails, Highland Gate Trail, Glensteeple and Woodhaven Trails, St. Andrew’s Trail connection and Strawbridge Farm Trail connection. The following presentation details the above-mentioned trail extensions and new systems, including new Parks, multi-use paths on Regional roads, and new trail projects planned for the next few years.

That the memorandum regarding Traffic Calming Requests on Limeridge Street and Gateway Drive Update be received; and 2. That the Active Transportation and Traffic Safety Advisory Committee comments regarding Traffic Calming Requests on Limeridge Street and Gateway Drive Update be received and referred to staff for consideration and further action as appropriate. Background In response to requests received from residents, staff have completed traffic calming warrant analyses following the procedures and methodologies outlined in the Town’s Traffic Calming Policy at the following locations (Attachment 1): Limeridge Street between Gateway Drive and Kirkvalley Crescent; and, Gateway Drive between Pedersen Drive and Earl Stewart Drive/Birkshire Drive. The following staff reports were previously prepared: Staff Report No. PDS25-091 was presented at the November 26, 2025, Active Transportation and Traffic Safety Advisory Committee meeting; and, Staff Report No. PDS26-003 was presented at the January 13, 2026, Committee of the Whole meeting. At the January 13, 2026, Committee of the Whole meeting, Council passed a motion that the subject traffic calming requests be referred back to the Active Transportation and Traffic Safety Advisory Committee for further review and comment. Page 26 of 32 Traffic Calming Requests on Limeridge Street and Gateway Drive Update January 28, 2026 Page 2 of 6 Analysis Limeridge Street: Is a two-lane local road with single lane per travel direction. It has an urban cross-section with curbs on both sides of the road. The existing pavement is measured 8.5 metres wide and in accordance with the Town Zoning By-law No. 4574-04.T the posted speed limit is 40 km/h. Gateway Drive: Is a two-lane collector road with single lane per travel direction. It has an urban cross-section with curbs, bike lanes and sidewalks provided along both sides of the road. The existing pavement is measured 11.5 metres wide and in accordance with the Town Zoning By-law No. 4574-04.T the posted speed limit is 40 km/h. Traffic Calming Policy Overview As set out in the Town’s Traffic Calming Policy, there are three requirements (warrants) that must be met for traffic calming measures to be considered: Warrant No. 1 Petition): To ensure that residents in the immediate area are in support of traffic calming measures. The minimum threshold is 70% of households on the street. Warrant No. 2 Safety Requirements): To ensure traffic calming measures are installed to improve traffic safety. A continuous sidewalk must be on at least one side of the street (or on street where there are no sidewalks, the installation of a sidewalk on at least one side of the street should have first been considered) and the road grade be less than 5%. Warrant No. 3 Technical Requirements): To ensure that traffic calming measures are implemented on streets that have a proven need for such measures. The 85th percentile speed over a seven-day period must be a minimum of 15 km/h over the posted speed limit, and the minimum traffic volume is 750 vehicles per day for local roads and 1,500 vehicles per day for collection roads. Traffic Calming Policy Warrant No. 1 (Petition) and Warrant No. 2 (Safety Requirements) Assessment Limeridge Street: Page 27 of 32 Traffic Calming Requests on Limeridge Street and Gateway Drive Update January 28, 2026 Page 3 of 6 The traffic calming request for Limeridge Street has met both warrant No. 1 and warrant No. 2 as outlined in the Town’s Traffic Calming Policy. It is important to note that currently there are no sidewalks provided on Limeridge Street. Based on the Active Transportation Master Plan (endorsed by Council on May 2024), Limeridge Street is identified as a potential candidate for future sidewalk installation. However, the installation of sidewalk on Limeridge Street is outside of the current 10-year capital plan. As such, warrant No. 2 is considered to be met. Gateway Drive (between Pedersen Drive and Earl Stewart Drive/Birkshire Drive): The traffic calming request for the subject section of Gateway Drive has met both warrant No. 1 and warrant No. 2 as outlined in the Town’s Traffic Calming Policy. Gateway Drive (between St. John’s Sideroad and Pedersen Drive): A petition (supported by a minimum of 70% of households on the street) has not been provided for this section of Gateway Drive (between St. John’s Sideroad and Pedersen Drive). Therefore, as outlined in the Town’s Traffic Calming Policy, warrant No. 2 and warrant No. 3 will not be considered until warrant No. 1 (petition) is satisfied. Traffic Calming Policy Warrant No. 3 (Technical Requirements) Assessment Traffic data was collected at the subject locations over a seven-day period to complete the analysis on warrant No. 3 (Table 1). Page 28 of 32 Traffic Calming Requests on Limeridge Street and Gateway Drive Update January 28, 2026 Page 4 of 6 Table 1: Traffic Calming Warrant Analysis Summary (Warrant No. 3) Study Locations Warrant No. 3 Requirements 85th Percentile Minimum Speed 1 Average Minimum Volumes 2 Both Conditions Met?

The recorded 85th percentile speed must be a minimum of 15 km/h over the posted speed limit. 2. The observed traffic volumes must be a) between 750 and 8,000 vehicles per day for local roads, and b) between 1,500 and 8,000 vehicles per day for collector roads. Based on the requirements outlined in the Traffic Calming Policy, traffic calming measures are not warranted at the subject locations on Limeridge Street and Gateway Drive. Page 29 of 32 Traffic Calming Requests on Limeridge Street and Gateway Drive Update January 28, 2026 Page 5 of 6 Preliminary Assessment of Traffic Calming Measure Locations Should Council decide to proceed with the installation of traffic calming measures on Limeridge Street and/or Gateway Drive, a high-level feasibility assessment was completed to determine appropriate locations (Attachment 1). Speed Cushions: The location criteria for speed cushions are generally determined using applicable industry guidelines and best practices: Distance from an intersection: o 15m for a local road o 30m for a collector road To achieve a desired 85th percentile speeds of 40km/h, speed cushions should be placed approximately every 80m Small turning radius curves and other areas with limited sight distances should be avoided Flexible Signs: As approved by Council at its meeting on November 28, 2023 (Staff Report No. PDS23- 130), flexible signs (traffic calming bollards) are included in the Traffic Calming Policy, and any future installation is subject to the warrant criteria outlined in the policy. The location criteria for flexible signs are as follows: Two lane streets with single lane per travel direction Ability to maintain a minimum lane width of 3.3m to 3.5m Ability to install a minimum of 80m from a curve in the road Ability to install a minimum of 80m from a traffic control device A minimum distance of 10m from residential driveways A minimum distance of 25m from intersections Page 30 of 32 Traffic Calming Requests on Limeridge Street and Gateway Drive Update January 28, 2026 Page 6 of 6 Comments from the November 26, 2025, Active Transportation and Traffic Safety Advisory Committee Meeting A memorandum (Report No. PDS25-091) was presented at the Active Transportation and Traffic Safety Advisory Committee (ATTSAC) meeting on November 26, 2025. The Committee provided the following comments (Table 2). Table 2: ATTSAC (November 26, 2025) Comment Summary ATTSAC Comments Staff Responses Expand the traffic calming study area to include the remaining section of Gateway Drive (between St. John’s Sideroad and Pedersen Drive). The study area is based on the petition received per Warrant No. 1 of the Traffic Calming Policy. In order to expand the study boundary, additional petitions for the expanded portions of the roadway are required per the Policy. In addition, there is also an existing roundabout on this section of Gateway Drive (at Pedersen Drive) that is considered a traffic calming measure. Other measures to narrow the roadway can be considered for the subject location on Gateway Drive to reduce operating speed such as traffic bollards flexible signs). As adopted by Council, the implementation of traffic calming measures will need to follow the procedures outlined in the Traffic Calming Policy Warrant No. 3 not met per Table 1). Traffic calming measures were not warranted based on data collected. Should Council wish to proceed with flexible signs, staff have indicated where these could possibly be installed (Attachment 1).
