Elevating Urban Design with TrafficPatternsXD:

Ever heard the phrase “no bricks”? It’s a reality we faced when downtown Woodbridge was planning for redevelopment, the team looked for crosswalk solutions that would compliment the project. That’s where TrafficPatternsXD, a proven solution from HUB Surface Systems Canada, fit the bill.

Shirley Marsh, project manager of Urban Design for the city of Vaughan, had the following to say: “The village of Woodbridge is a designated Heritage Conservation District and has served the community and visitors as the central hub for social gatherings and celebrations. The district is centered on Woodbridge Avenue consisting of a unique historic main street setting and many charming heritage buildings. The Woodbridge streetscape improvement and design required careful consideration and selection of plantings, street furniture and paving materials. The City chose TrafficPatternsXD for all the pedestrian crosswalks at intersections to help highlight pedestrian zones and facilitate safer crossings. The project had multiple goals including: to beautify the street environment, create safe traffic circulation, enhance heritage village character, ensure material durability and facilitate effective and efficient operations and maintenance. The project team feels we have successfully achieved our goals in the completion of this Woodbridge Ave streetscape improvement project.”
