  • Belgravia Neighbourhood Renewal
    BELGRAVIA/MCKERNAN WEST OF 114 STREET MEETING TWO MARCH 22, 2016 6:30-8:30 PM The City of Edmonton is building a great neighbourhood in Belgravia/McKernan west of 114 Street beginning in spring 2016. As the City is committed to involving Edmontonians in the decisions that affect them, residents have been asked to provide input, to identify missing sidewalk connections and opportunities for other investments to add to Belgravia/McKernan’s livability. The City held its first meeting with the community league executive on October 14, 2015. A second neighbourhood- wide meeting was held March 22, 2016. Belgravia/McKernan west of 114 Street residents had the opportunity to review and provide feedback on the neighbourhood preliminary design, and learn about the local improvement process. Staff members from Transportation Infrastructure, Facility and Landscape Infrastructure, Citizen Services, Drainage, and Forestry were on hand to address residents’ questions. The following provides a general overview of comments and questions from the meeting, received from emails and from the online comment form. 114/115 STREET AND UNIVERSITY AVENUE ● VERY POOR INTERSECTION DESIGN. Northbound left turn at University Avenue and 115 Street is in direct conflict with double southbound left turn. Both movements compete for same space in intersection at the same time. Becomes a problem as NBD LT can be the only way out of neighbourhood to the North when Sask. Drive and 119 Street is congested. ● Improve intersection at 115 St and University for pedestrians. Sidewalk on west side off 115 St and crosswalk on east side. ● Another concern I have - that I have voiced repeatedly to the City is the lack of a pedestrian crossing across University Ave.
