CYCLING
Brunswick Street Assessment
Cornwallis Street to MacDonald Bridge Head Area

Pavement Factors

Roadway conditions are generally good along the entire segment. Parallel drain grates are located near several intersecting streets. Traffic was noted to be consistently heavy along the length after 3:30 P.M. during several site visits. This segment has benefited from closing the street to bridge traffic as wearing and cracking has been substantially reduced.

Location Factors

Land use on this segment is primarily low to medium density residential with several designated Heritage Properties and Churches. On-street parking is permitted on the east side in most areas with some restrictions. There are two traffic lanes along this section of Brunswick Street.

High volume traffic at afternoon peak times has been eliminated with the closing of the street to bridge traffic.

Traffic from Barrington accessed North Street and the Macdonald Bridge from the one-way westbound Artz Street (above picture) on this section, making it one of the most heavily traveled residential streets in the municipality prior to closing it to bridge traffic.
