3 Project Background

4 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.

5 Study Area S Routledge Road Campbell Street N Wharncliffe Road S Colonel Talbot Road Main Street ~1.2 km Campbell Street Bainard Street Colonel Talbot Road Public Right of Way Project Boundary 1:4000

6 Context

7 Policy Context: Lambeth Village Core Neighbourhood in the Secondary Area Plan Land Use Designation Guidelines: Built Form Mixed-Use Low rise (three storeys) Flexible ground floor (commercial/ office) Village streetscape character potential in road cycling route project boundary Transportation Primarily walking and cycling On-street parking Minimal building front parking Text and Map Source: Southwest Area Secondary Plan, Draft Cycling Master Plan

8 Existing Conditions 1. Narrow Right of Way (ROW) 2. Low density retail and residential with wide set back from street line 3. Detached houses with porch details 4. Hydro poles Individual driveways 6. Large asphalt parking lots in front of strip malls 7. Narrow sidewalks 8. Rural cross section at Main Street and Colonel Talbot Road with retail parking lots and a cemetery Suburban cross section at Main Street and Campbell Street with strip malls and their parking lots 7 8 9

9 Project Objectives

10 Streetscape Objectives economy, environment, walking, gathering, meeting, living, culture, public jogging, cycling, health, People Place pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, automobile users, community members, visitors Prosperity celebrating, visiting, business, neighbourhood, working, shopping, heritage, Main Street s primary function is to foster... Active Transportation Public Realm with a Strong Sense of Place Local Transit Connections Character Rich Community Spine Vehicular Movement Vibrant Mixed-Use Neighbourhood Community Hub for southwest London

11 Design Principles & Approach

12 Design Principles 1. Establish a vision, development tools and implementation strategies incorporating great street principles 2. Develop a comprehensive complete street over long term implementation 3. Renew infrastructure and servicing 4. Provide pedestrian accessibility, comfort and amenity 5. Reinforce the neighbourhood characteristics 6. Enhance connectivity and establish a neighbourhood destination 7. Stimulate placemaking opportunities and civic pride

13 Design Approach Campbell Street Colonel Talbot Rd STREETSCAPE TYPOLOGY Main Street Midblock Treatment with Lay-by Parking Permanent Intersection Treatment Lower Density Midblock Treatment LAND USE Naturalized Low-Density Residential Institutional Commercial Mixed Use 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

18 Streetscape Concepts

19 Lane Configuration: Existing Conditions & Opportunities Signalized Intersection 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

20 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
