The City is studying and discussing traffic safety in our neighbourhood and your input matters now.

On January 26th, the City of London is hosting a Public Information Centre (PIC) for the Central North London Traffic Study, their initiative aimed at improving traffic safety and enhancing the livability of local streets.

This study is a direct response to community concerns we have raised about speeding, cut-through traffic, and overall road safety within the area generally bounded by Richmond Street (west), Oxford Street (south), the Thames River (north), and Adelaide Street (east).

Their goal is to develop practical, long-term solutions that make streets safer and more comfortable for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and automobile drivers and passengers — and it’s important we show up to provide our input!

Event Details:

• Date: Monday, January 26, 2026
• Time: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM
• Location: Vitali Student Lounge, Wemple Building
  King’s University College, London, ON
• Format: Open House and Q&A Session

At the PIC, attendees will have the opportunity to:

• Learn about the study’s scope and objectives;
• Review preliminary technical findings and a summary of community feedback received to date;
• Explore potential traffic calming measures; and
• Share input on neighbourhood-specific issues to help inform the development of a recommended plan.

ACTION invites to please attend and to consider sharing the following sentiments during your attendance at the City of London Open House:

• Thank the City of London for committing to the Old North traffic study and taking our neighbourhood’s concern about traffic and its impact on livability seriously! It’s great that they want to listen.
• We support changing how traffic moves through our neighbourhood: The recent survey conducted by ACTION indicated that 90 percent of
  respondents are open to engineering or infrastructure solutions to improve traffic safety in Old North.
• Emphasize the need for neighbourhood-wide or systemic solutions and engineered interventions like lane and intersection narrowing.
• We need to go beyond education and enforcement only.
• Our primary goal is to improve livability in Old North, making our
  neighbourhood a great place to live, work and play.
• The traffic study must take into consideration infrastructure projects
  happening in Old North that will impact traffic volume and flow.
