The Moray Street traffic calming area stretches from St. Johns Street to Brookmount Avenue, where it connects to Thermal Drive in Coquitlam. It serves as one of the few north-south road connections between Port Moody and Coquitlam. It currently has a posted speed limit of 30 kilometres an hour, carries approximately 7,000 vehicles per day, and provides access to residences and local businesses.
Informed by public input, a traffic calming pilot project was implemented in 2022 to reduce traffic speed and improve safety for all road users and community residents. Over the next year, the City monitored the effectiveness of the pilot and reviewed community feedback. The pilot program demonstrated a measurable reduction in vehicle speeds on Moray Street, and in 2023 Council approved the next steps to replace the temporary pilot measures with permanent infrastructure. The permanent design took into account feedback received through the pilot, including:
- reinstating some sections of street parking that were removed through the pilot,
- simplifying the road chicanes so there is a lower number of shifts in the road alignment for drivers; and
- extending the northbound left turn lane on to St. Johns Street as much as possible.
In May 2025, Council approved funding for construction, which is expected to begin in Spring 2026. Click the accordion below to learn more about the project history leading up to the permanent upgrades work underway.
