Boiler Beach Traffic Study

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

The Township of Huron-Kinloss is working with BT Engineering Inc. to complete a traffic study on Boiler Beach Rd. This is the busiest road in the Township during the summer months, and we often hear complaints and concerns from residents and visitors about safety and parking. BT Engineering Inc. is considering all options to address these concerns including: the feasibility of a one-way road between Concession 10 and Huronville St., widening of the roadway, and other opportunities to better accommodate pedestrians and cyclists.


The study will evaluate:

  • traffic volumes and circulation options (existing two-way roadway, one-way northbound, one-way southbound),
  • traffic operations and impacts to other roadways; and
  • existing constraints, issues, and opportunities for Boiler Beach Rd.


The study aims to develop a preferred plan to address the needs of the Study Area and accommodate all modes of transportation (motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and emergency vehicles).

    Township staff have considered BTE’s findings and public input regarding a one-way road conversion.

    Township staff concur with BTE’s findings that a year-round one-way road conversion in a southbound direction is feasible, however, conclude that it may not be the best solution for ratepayers and users of the roadway.

    Following the BTE's Presentation to Council on June 5, 2023, Council has directed staff to explore off street parking options in more detail before making any decision. Various lots are being considered for proposal.

    Additional short-term solutions include line-painting and increased signage.
