Stage 1 Implementation of Elbow Park Traffic Plan
Stage 1 of the Elbow Park Traffic Plan is almost
complete
The city has installed most of the measures for
Stage 1 of the Elbow Park Traffic
Plan.
Speed humps have been installed on 38 Avenue, 6 & 7 Streets.
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.
We hope to have 2 more speed humps installed this fall - one on 13 St and one on 10 St. This depends on the weather as the asphalt cannot be poured under 15°C.
