Before we advance further, we would like to know if the project has broad support from neighbourhood residents:

• View the traffic calming plans for your street (see Traffic Calming Plans section of this page)
  • As per the City of Abbotsford Traffic Calming Policy, traffic calming will only occur if the following conditions are satisfied:
    1. At least 50% of the affected property owners respond to the survey.
    2. At least 67% of respondents are in favour of the traffic calming plan.
  • Please note that the traffic calming plans approved for construction may be a little different from these plans as there may be some minor speed hump location shifts to accommodate drainage, driveways, and utilities.
  • A typical speed hump dimension is 4.0 m wide (in the direction of travel) and 80 mm in height. According to our engineering standards, a speed hump must be accompanied by a warning sign adjacent to the hump and pavement markings on the hump itself.

  • Please include "Traffic Calming Program 2024" in the subject line.
  • Please include your name, your civic address, and a yes or no indicating support or opposition to the proposed traffic calming plan on your street.
  • Please note that this is restricted to property owners of candidate streets.
