Neighbourhood traffic management issues have received considerable attention in the last decade, dealing with concerns over vehicle speeds, volumes, level of truck activity, pedestrian and cyclist accommodation and safety, and street aesthetics. Generally, the focus has been on local residential streets; however, collector streets have also been examined in some cases. This paper will review a number of neighbourhood review projects, including: a local street in Winnipeg, MB along the Red River that was the subject of a corridor enhancement focussing on upgrades to the pedestrian and cyclist environment along the street and improved access to the Red River; a collector street in Fargo, ND that was reviewed following intense neighbourhood lobbying to the Mayor and City Commission following the street being extended under I-29 to connect to a street adjacent to a regional shopping centre; and a neighbourhood review in Saskatoon, SK was requested due to the proposed closure of a portion of a collector street by the City to expand the City's water plant.
