The Walking Security Index (WSI) Project was approved as a 1996-97 initiative of the Transportation Environment Action Plan (TEAP). As stated in the project Terms of Reference, the project was designed to contribute a pedestrian’s perspective on the level of security (safety, comfort and convenience) engendered by intersections and intersection design under different road networks and traffic situations in Ottawa-Carleton.

The study was conducted by Dr. Barry Wellar of the University of Ottawa’s Geography Department.

    Hi Lana, were you interested in the data behind this report being published? If so this might be a hard one to track down given the age of the report and that it was conducted by the University of Ottawa; however, if that is the case I could try to track it down.

    Thanks! I was able to find a paper copy at the library. You can close this request.
