Road Strategy Open House

City of North Bay to Host Road Safety Strategy Open House

The City of North Bay will hold a Road Safety Strategy open house on Tuesday, Nov. 12, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The event will take place at City Hall ahead of a Committee Meeting, during which City staff and engineering consulting firm CIMA+ will officially present the proposed finalized strategy to Council.

City staff and representatives from CIMA+ will be available at the open house to provide information about the strategy, answer questions, and gather public feedback. The Road Safety Strategy is designed to improve safety for all road users and aims to reduce fatal and injury collisions on City roads by at least 15% within the next five years.

Key areas of focus in the strategy include:

·        Intersections

·        Aggressive Driving

·        Distracted Driving

·        Pedestrians

·        Cyclists

·        School Zones

The strategy outlines a proposed investment of up to $9.2 million over five years, of which a significant portion can be funded through current budget allocations or within the scope of future capital programs.

With more than 800 collisions on City roadways each year, 100 of which result in serious injury or fatality, the strategy adopts a proactive and focused approach to road safety, building on public consultations, including survey feedback on key safety concerns like distracted driving, speeding, and pedestrian and cyclist safety.

The open house provides an opportunity for residents to engage directly with City staff and CIMA+ representatives, helping shape the implementation of this initiative for safer roads for all North Bay travelers.
