The study is being coordinated by Opus International Consultants (Canada) Limited, a professional consulting firm with expertise in traffic engineering and safety. The process is being guided at the municipal level by a steering committee including staff from Engineering & Public Works, Police, Parks & Trees, and Development Services.
The scope of the project is to look at pedestrian crossing issues in Fredericton … what works and what doesn’t. This will include stakeholder and public consultation and surveys, a safety review of existing crosswalks and trail crossings, an analysis of local issues, a review of best practices, and the development of guidelines that will provide the foundation for improved pedestrian safety in Fredericton.
