The City of Burlington has retained CIMA+ to conduct a Traffic Management Study for the Sheldon Creek Neighbourhood. The study area is bounded by Appleby Line in the west, Upper Middle Road in the north, Mainway in the south and the Sheldon Creek Naturalized Area in the east. The purpose of the study is to review traffic, speeding and parking issues within the neighbourhood in a holistic manner, engage with the public and identify traffic calming and parking management solutions to address the identified issues.

    Sheldon Creek’s NTMP engagement survey period has closed. A final report is in the process of being finalized by City staff and the consultant CIMA+. Once it is completed, information will be provided on the Sheldon Creek Get Involved Page.  Feel free to subscribe to the project page so that you will receive emails as new arises.

    The next steps in the Sheldon Creek Neighbourhood Traffic Management Plan include a virtual public meeting with members of the community. This is being planned for March 2023 and will provide the project team an opportunity to present the outcomes of the study and for residents of the Sheldon Creek neighbourhood to provide the city with feedback.

    Additional information about the Sheldon Creek Neighbourhood Traffic Management Plan project and details related to the upcoming public meeting will be posted on this site.

    The intent of the sensor placement was to capture not only traffic but speed along the road segments. Placement of the sensors away from Appleby Line allowed us to capture free flow traffic conditions that would not be affected by the signals on Appleby Line. We will however be conducting field observations to observe traffic conditions in the vicinity of these condominiums

    The Sheldon Creek Neighbourhood Traffic Management Plan is underway to identify and address existing transportation concerns inside the neighbourhood, in the bounds of the project’s scope. It should be noted that development proposals and development reviews are not within the scope of this project.  Recommendations and their future implementations will likely serve to dissuade future infiltration into the neighbourhood.

It should be noted that development proposals and development reviews are not within the scope of this project. Any data gathered through this project will be shared with other departments in the City of Burlington. Any form of traffic calming measures that will be implemented will likely detract from non-local road user from using Sheldon Creek’s local roadway network and promote them to use the main arterial roadways in the area.

    The application at 1900 Appleby Line is currently under review, city staff will have access to the data collected for this project and can help Planning better understand the Sheldon Creek Neighbourhood. During the review stage, resident are encouraged to attend meetings and submitted their comments and concerns. The Sheldon Creek Project is not the ideal place for residents to submit comments regarding any development in the area. The webpage for the 1900 Appleby Line submission can be found here;

    Lampman Avenue was not studied during the initial phase because staff already have previous data on the street. Automatic Traffic Recorders were installed on Lampman Avenue during prior Traffic Calming reviews, both before the speed humps were installed and after. Two locations on Lampman Avenue will be studied during the second phase of data collection to add to the previously collected data to further inform staff and residents. Des Jardines Drive and Hobson Drive had data collected on them during Phase 1. Alessia Avenue, McCoy Avenue and a second location of Hobson Drive will also be included during the second phase of data collection.

    Widening roads would typically be identified in the OP and further would require a planning review to take place such as an environmental assessment (EA). It should be noted that the widening of roads can increase neighbourhood traffic infiltration (cut through) and speeds.

    The Sheldon Creek Neighbourhood Traffic Management Plan and associated data will be shared with the Planning Department.  Data from this study will not change the Official Plan as the Sheldon Creek Neighbourhood Traffic Management plan is an in-service road review looking at the existing conditions and concerns in the neighbourhood, whereas the OP provides direction for land-use planning for the city over a 20 year time horizon, and where individual site plan\development reviews allow for the review of specific developments.

    The official plan is a strategic document that outlines the city's land-use strategy over a 20 year time horizon and is prepared to ensure that future planning and development meets the needs of the city.  Through the development of the Official Plan, mobility policy is developed which helps guide how people and goods will move throughout the City for years to come.  Strategic transportation plans like the Integrated Mobility Plan (IMP) examine the transportation network and recommend strategies and improvements to accommodate future travel demands of our residents.  Operational studies like this Neighbourhood Review is conducted on a smaller scale and focuses on studying existing traffic issue on local streets.

    Transportation Services works closely with Community Planning throughout the development review and approval process, and we will be sharing the results of this Neighbourhood Review with our internal stakeholders. Data collected throughout this review will augment technical studies submitted by area developers. Recommendations for the Sheldon Creek neighbourhood will aim to create more livable and safer streets. Any forthcoming recommendations will also serve to reduce traffic impacts and infiltration from future developments.
