Project Background
Project Background
There are two components to the Main Street Project: 1. Infrastructure Renewal – which will see new municipal services installed in 2018; 2. Streetscape Concepts – which was developed in coordination with the Lambeth Community Improvement Plan, parts of which will be incorporated into the restoration works for the 2018 construction project.

Streetscape Objectives
Main Street’s primary function is to foster...
Design Principles & Approach
Design Principles
1. Establish a vision, development tools and implementation strategies incorporating great street principles2. Develop a comprehensive complete street over long term implementation3. Renew infrastructure and servicing4. Provide pedestrian accessibility, comfort and amenity5. Reinforce the neighbourhood characteristics6. Enhance connectivity and establish a neighbourhood destination7. Stimulate placemaking opportunities and civic pride
Gateway features at Colonel Talbot Road and Campbell Street establish a strong sense of place along Main Street.
Potential Gateway features include:• Community space for free events and activities • Public art • Activated corner uses• Improved sight lines through plaza• Enhanced lighting in the plaza

Streetscape Concepts
Lane Configuration: Existing Conditions & Opportunities
• Between 2012 and 2016 daily through traffic volumes on Main Street decreased by 19%• The two signalized intersections operate below their theoretical capacities during the AM and PM peak hours• The reduction in traffic demand presented an opportunity to reconfigure the cross-section (conducting a “Road
Diet”) to free-up real estate for other uses
Signalized Intersection
Lane Configuration: Analysis of 3-Lane Configuration
• A 3-lane cross-section is recommended (one through lane per direction and a centre two-way left-turn lane)
• The 3-lane cross-section will maintain access to the properties along Main Street, while keeping through traffic moving
• Dedicated left-turn lanes at both signalized intersections are recommended
• Analysis of the 3-Lane cross section at the signalized intersections indicated that the roadway geometry will operate below capacity in the present and the forecast future (2026)
• Controlled pedestrian crossings midblock at the Bainard Street or Routledge Road intersections are recommended to improve connectivity and safety
