  • October 17 - Opinions intersect for 50 Avenue - Streetscapes took Stantec’s downtown street proposals to vote yesterday – and at this point the outcome is anyone’s guess.

  • October 16 - Meeting was held
    The downtown traffic solution options Meeting.
    7:30am to 8:30am, Legacy Centre (5101-46th Street)

    MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
    Streetscapes Stakeholders (business/property owners and residents):
    Good turnout for this meeting to express their concerns. Traffic solutions were being proposed for the north-south corridor along Highway 17/50th Avenue could mean drastic changes in terms of traffic flows and parking in the downtown. 

    Streetscapes strongly encouraged Streetscapes stakeholders to cast your vote on the options presented by Stantec Consulting.  The purpose is to create a unanimous motion which will be presented to the City representing the wishes of all stakeholders.  Brad Zurevinski of Stantec will be in attendance to explain the options and how the conclusions were arrived at.  The final draft of  Stantec's report is expected mid-November.

    The three options are as follows:

    1. Removal of all on-street parking along 50th avenue to accomodate two lanes of traffic in each direction.
    49th avenue will be maintained as is with an extension to 62nd street.

    2. 49th avenue to consist of two northbound lanes, one southbound lane and one parking lane.
    50th avenue to have two southbound lanes, one northbound lane, and one parking lane.
    Traffic signals would be synchronized to optimize traffic.

    3. A one-way couplet system with 50th avenue used for southbound traffic and 49th avenue for northbound.
