  • 170 Street Planning Study (Ellerslie Rd- 41 Ave
    170th Street Concept Planning Public Information Session (Ellerslie Rd to 41 Street SW) Responses to Stakeholder Comments www.edmonton.ca/roadplans November 2010 Public Involvement Introduction The following is a summary of the written questions and comments received after the June 22, 2010 Public Open House covering Ellerslie Road to 41 Avenue SW. Where possible, the project team has included a response for clarification. Philosophy Why does this proposal create a free flow facility through the Windermere community to serve what we must assume are non-residents of the community? 170 Street has been identified by the City of Edmonton and Alberta Transportation as a “Highway Penetrator” since the 1990’s. Both parties have since prepared plans for the 170 Street corridor based on that understanding. Although 170 Street will provide regional connections to the south, the infrastructure proposed for this corridor serves mostly City residents. Immediately north of Ellerslie Road, approximately 85% of the northbound traffic in the AM Peak hour and 60% of the southbound traffic in the PM Peak hour is development traffic accessing one of the three crossing arterials (Ellerslie Road, 25 Avenue SW, or 41 Avenue SW). The remainder of the traffic is regional traffic. Will land access to the Windermere ASP area be sacrificed for free flow movements in and out of Edmonton? Land access is not being sacrificed. Within the south study area, no accesses proposed by the Windermere Area Structure Plan Traffic Impact Assessment have been removed. The only change in access occurs at the four collector accesses that have become right-in/right-out intersections onto the one-way frontage roads.

  • What We Heard Report: Terwillegar Drive Expressway Draft Concept Plan
    What We Heard Report: Terwillegar Drive Expressway Draft Concept Plan October to December 2018 Public Engagement Summary: January 2019 What We Heard Report: Terwillegar Drive Expressway Draft Concept Plan Project Overview The City is currently developing a plan to upgrade Terwillegar Drive, between Anthony Henday Drive and Whitemud Drive, to an expressway. An expressway is a high-capacity roadway which includes widely spaced signalized intersections. The Terwillegar Drive expressway will include up to four travel lanes in each direction, increased capacity at all intersections and the Whitemud Drive/Terwillegar Drive interchange, the potential for dedicated transit lanes and bus stops, and a shared-use path on the east side of the roadway. This is the second phase of engagement for the current Terwillegar Drive Study. Phase one was completed in early 2018 and presented freeway options for Terwillegar Drive. After analyzing the public and technical needs, an alternative solution to the freeway, an expressway, was developed. In October 2018, the City’s Urban Planning Committee unanimously accepted a motion to advance on the expressway option. For detailed information about the study and to view the draft concept plan visit: edmonton.ca/terwillegardrivestudy 2 What We Heard Report: Terwillegar Drive Expressway Draft Concept Plan Public Engagement Process This phase of public engagement was designed to gather feedback and perspectives on the Terwillegar Drive expressway draft concept plan, including the following elements of the design: + Shared-use path: location and connections + Transit accommodation: dedicated + 142 Street pedestrian/cyclist bridge: transit lanes and bus stops bridge styles + Naturalized landscaping: locations Between October and December 2018 engagement activities were conducted with property owners, community leagues and the public.

  • Terwillegar Drive Update
    Project Background In October 2018, Edmonton’s Urban Planning Committee accepted a motion to advance engagement on the expressway option for Terwillegar Drive. A public information session was hosted in September 2019 to share the recommended concept plan. The plan included three stages of upgrades to accommodate all users safely and efficiently, and support planned rapid bus transit services between the future site of the Ambleside Park n’ Ride and South Campus LRT Station: ● Stage 1: ○ Widening Terwillegar Drive to four lanes in each direction between Anthony Henday Drive and Whitemud Drive (three lanes for motor vehicles and one ​segregated*​ lane for transit), intersection upgrades, enhanced bus stops, and a shared-use path on the east side of the corridor. ● Stage 2: ○ Whitemud Drive/Terwillegar Drive interchange improvements and rehabilitation/widening of the Rainbow Valley Bridges ○ Pedestrian/cyclist bridge over Whitemud Drive at 142 Street ● Stage 3: ○ Anthony Henday Drive interchange upgrades More information, including what was shared at the event, can be found at edmonton.ca/terwillegardrivestudy​. What’s New On July 8, 2020, the Government of Alberta announced funding for upgrading Terwillegar Drive. The investment provides construction funding towards the south portion of Stage 1, from Anthony Henday Drive to Rabbit Hill Road, the shared-use path on the east side of Terwillegar Drive, the pedestrian/cyclist bridge and Stage 3. The City is continuing to advance planning and design of Stages 1 and 2 and is currently conducting a technical study to further refine the concept plans for Stage 2. The study includes planning for transit priority measures (e.g., bus lanes, transit stops, etc.) to connect the planned rapid bus transit services to South Campus LRT Station.

  • Attachment 1 Terwillegar Drive Project History the Intent of This
    Attachment 1 Terwillegar Drive Project History The intent of this attachment is to provide a short summary of the history of the Terwillegar Drive project, including a list of the studies Admininstration has conducted and recommendations from them. Terwillegar Drive is currently configured as a major arterial roadway with traffic signals at major intersections, including Haddow Drive, 23 Avenue, Rabbit Hill Road and 40 Avenue. Terwillegar Drive, as it currently exists, was constructed starting in the 1980’s. In the 1980s, it was the intent of the planners of the time that Terwillegar Drive would ultimately be converted to a freeway, and since this time policy has been developed around upgrading Terwillegar Drive to a freeway. To allow for the conversion of Terwillegar Drive to a freeway, the intersections at 23 Avenue, Rabbit Hill Road and 40 Avenue were built along the ultimate interchange ramps and space in the middle was protected to construct the ultimate interchanges. Haddow Drive was built at a later date and has not been constructed to allow for an interchange to be constructed. Administration has conducted four planning studies for Terwillegar Drive to define the scope (design), develop cost estimates and explore project scheduling and construction staging. These studies were conducted in 2001, 2007, 2012 and 2014. The most comprehensive study was conducted in 2001, which resulted in recommendations for the corridor from 23 Avenue to Whitemud Drive. Updates to the plan occured in 2007. The 2012 study provided recommendations for the Terwillegar corridor from Anthony Henday Drive to 23 Avenue. Additional updates to the plan were conducted in the 2012 study.
