Traffic calming on arterial roads not feasible: councillor [Video]

Speeding along Walker Road is a concern for residents who live, work and drive through the major Windsor artery, but according to one city councillor, implementing traffic calming measures is not a feasible solution.

The final ward meeting of the year, aimed at informing Windsor’s 2024 budget deliberations, took place Wednesday, with Ward 9 councillor Kieran McKenzie and Mayor Drew Dilkens leading a discussion among dozens of residents.

During the meeting, Ward 9 resident Shannon Clarke called for traffic calming measures, citing an incident six years ago when she was struck by a vehicle.

“I was hit by a car when a man went through a red light at Walker and Foster,” she said.

“I have permanent nerve damage in one foot and had to have surgery on my other ankle. That intersection is terrible for people going through the red light.”
