CW121-2025

Background

OVERVIEW:

• Staff use the Neighbourhood Traffic Management Guide (NTMG) to determine hotspots in the City where traffic calming efforts are required.
• Staff work closely with Peel Regional Police to share data to validate concerns raised so enforcement efforts are conducted where they are mos tneeded. This occurs in an ongoing manner.
• Staff proposed a two-pronged approach that first restricted driver trainers from utilizing the area for training purposes and the second was to collaborate with the MTO to encourage their adoption of a more dynamic selection of testing routes.
• The MTO has subsequently chosen alternative test routes and, while these test routes have been identified via YouTube, and other social media platforms, the more dynamic utilization of alternative routes has not resulted in increased traffic on any singular route within the City of Brampton.
• It can be concluded, anecdotally, that driving instructors have adapted by training to the test requirements as opposed to the test route. In this, the goals of the foundational bylaw have been achieved.
• There is no financial impact resulting from the adoption of the recommendations in this report.
