Traffic management in the City of Fredericton is guided by the Capital City Traffic Study (PDF). This study, first developed in 2000, was updated in 2010 after 18 months of development, including extensive public consultation. The final report provides City Council with a list of recommendations for prioritizing improvements that address current traffic issues, changes in infrastructure, and future travel demands. The City is currently updating its traffic study.
The report provides the city with short-term, medium-term, intermediate-term, and long-term recommendations to improve its transportation network. It also attaches a price tag to each recommendation that will have to be borne by the municipality and/or the Province of New Brunswick, which is responsible for maintaining provincially designated routes within the city limits.
