Elbow Park Traffic Plan - Stage 1 Complete
Stage 1 of the Elbow Park Traffic Plan has been
installed.
Speed humps have been installed on 38 Avenue, 6
& 7 Streets, 13 St, 13A St.
Three traffic circles have been built at 36 Ave & 6 St, 7 Ave & 34 St, 7 Ave & 32 St. The traffic circles are temporary constructions to be replaced with permanent structures. The community will have the opportunity to put plants in the traffic circles. The traffic circles will be made permanent next year if they prove to be successful. So far the feedback on traffic circles and their effectiveness has been very positive.
One speed-cushion was built on 36 Ave & 13 St. Unfortunately the design implemented is ineffective. This is the first speed-cushion built in Canada. The City will undertake to redesign the speed-cushion this winter and build a trial version where it can be tested by Fire and Transit before building another one on city roads. We hope to have the other speed-cushions installed next spring. The speed-cushions are required on 36 Ave as it is a major response route for Fire.
The traffic committee will plan the installation of speed-humps for Stage 2 later this fall. Please watch the web site and Gazette for more information.
