PREFERRED CORRIDOR CONCEPT

Using the public feedback from Phase 2 and further technical analysis and design work, a draft recommended plan has been developed for the 50 Avenue S.W. corridor.

The plan is based on Concept 4 presented in Phase 2 and consists of the following:

• Cyclists are accommodated off-street and separate from traffic
• The north sidewalk is widened to 2m to provide pedestrians with a safe walking choice clear of cyclists
• The south pathway is widened to 4m to better accommodate pedestrians and cyclists
• Grass boulevards are provided on both sides of the street as a buffer between vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists
• Pathway on the south side connects to existing pathways to the east and west
• Narrower driving lanes encourage lower speeds
• Curb extensions at intersections reduces crossing distances for pedestrians
• Improved crossings at intersections to make pedestrians and cyclists visible to motorists
