Should Speed Bumps and Traffic Barriers Come to Killarney Streets?
Official title: Killarney Traffic Calming
Vancouver wants to slow down traffic in the Killarney neighbourhood. The city is proposing speed bumps, curb extensions, and other physical changes to local streets between Boundary Road, E 49th Avenue, Kerr/Rupert Street, and Kingsway. Phase 1 gathered community input on problem areas. Now Phase 2 asks residents to weigh in on the specific plan before construction starts in 2026.
Why This Matters
Live in Killarney? Drive through it? This affects your daily commute. Speed bumps and traffic barriers could make streets safer for kids walking to school. But they might also add time to your drive or push traffic onto other streets. If you've got opinions about which streets need calming—or which don't—now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
The city could install speed bumps, curb extensions, and traffic diverters on local streets in Killarney. E 45th Avenue and Tyne Street are specifically targeted. Construction would start in summer 2026, with monitoring afterward to see if adjustments are needed.
