Vision Zero Street Labs create an opportunity to trial adaptable traffic safety solutions on your streets.
Vision Zero Street Labs are an easy way to work with the City to improve street safety at the neighbourhood level using adaptable traffic calming measures.
Each Street Lab is tailored to the unique needs of the community in order to creatively address community problems such as speeding, short-cutting and other unsafe driving behaviours.
At the start of a Street Lab, community members will share their lived experiences and traffic safety concerns with the City. From there, City staff will create a plan based on this input and their engineering expertise, and install adaptable traffic-calming measures designed to address the issues on the street.

Vision Zero Street Labs are an easy way to work with the City to bring traffic safety improvements to your neighbourhood.

The City is open to trialling new innovative solutions and evaluating their effectiveness. There are known adaptable traffic calming tools that can help address specific traffic safety concerns. Some of these measures may be incorporated into your neighbourhood’s Street Lab Plan, depending on your neighbourhood’s unique characteristics.
The City will begin to evaluate the project approximately three months after installation by collecting resident feedback and/or traffic monitoring data. This will give the community time to experience the changes, learn, and adjust if needed. The City will then determine if future adjustments are needed to the project.
All community members can support the Street Lab project by participating in the engagement opportunities and sharing their experiences and expertise. There are two specific roles in the Community Ambassador and Project Advisory Team that have additional functions.
