Earl Mulligan Drive neighbourhood traffic calming study
The City of Ottawa is conducting a Neighbourhood Traffic Calming (NTC) Study along Earl Mulligan Drive between Mountshannon Drive and Woodroffe Avenue in response to traffic concerns raised by residents. The main concern noted along this street is speeding.
This study focuses on key locations within the means of the Neighbourhood Traffic Calming (NTC) Program. Traffic calming is the combination of mainly physical measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behaviour, and improve conditions for non-motorized street users. Additional information on traffic calming can be found online.
Proposed concept plan
Based on traffic data, a proposed concept plan has been developed.
This plan includes:

Corner tightening (curb-radii reductions) and accessibility improvements on the east and west corners
The intersection of Earl Mulligan Drive and Mountshannon Drive
