Sifton Open by Monday Oct 27th



With the final construction on the Sifton/Elbow intersection underway congestion has increased on Elbow Drive causing commuters to short cut through the community. Sifton west bound has been closed for several days.

Sifton should be open before Monday Oct 27 and alleviate the problems. The city has been asked to provide better traffic control during the rest of the construction. As well the Police Service has been asked to ticket those who speed or make illegal turns. The Police Service will also have a presence after construction is complete to ensure that people are not continuing to make illegal turns or speed in the neighbourhood.

Thanks for your patience - it will be rewarded with a much more beautiful and calmer Elbow Drive.

The Elbow Drive project should be complete by the end of November. Until that time some congestion may occur. The city is more aware of the problems caused and an increased Police presence and a better detour plan should be implemented. The closing of Sifton will occur once again briefly but the city has promised it will be handled better.
