Project details

Moray Street spans between St. Johns Street and Brookmount Avenue and connects to Thermal Drive in Coquitlam. It currently has a posted speed limit of 30 kilometres an hour and carries approximately 7,000 vehicles per day. Moray Street is used by local residents and people accessing local businesses. And, as one of the few north-south connections between Port Moody and Coquitlam, it is also used by drivers travelling between the two cities.

To address concerns raised by the community, initial traffic calming measures such as pavement markings for on-street parking and a bike lane, and flashing speed limit signs were put in place in 2021. While these measures resulted in some improvements, further changes were required to improve safety for road users and residents. The City undertook a traffic calming study and pilot project to address traffic concerns on Moray Street. The traffic calming study assessed conditions on Moray Street and proposed physical measures to:

  • reduce speeding;
  • encourage sustainable methods of transportation (walking, rolling, cycling, etc.); and
  • improve overall safety and accessibility.

Feedback from the community was used to help develop the proposed traffic calming pilot project which was presented in a report to Council and approved at the March 22, 2022 Regular Council Meeting (Item 9.1).
