  • 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.

  • Bike Lanes, Buffered Bike Lanes, and Cycle Tracks, Although Some Facilities Within the River Valley and Ravines Are Off-Street Shared Uses Paths
    ATTACHMENT 4 Bicycle Priority Network Analysis and Prioritization The Priority Bicycle Network is made up of Spoke Routes and Cross-town Routes that provide long, continuous bikeways across the city and connect numerous neighbourhoods to important destinations. Some of the spoke and cross-town routes are or will be on- street bicycle facilities while others are or will be off-street shared use paths. The cross- town and spoke routes were selected based on the destinations served, the current cycling demand, an appropriate spacing between routes (7.5 minutes bicycle ride between routes), ease of all-seasons maintenance, connections to transit facilities (LRT, Transit Centres, and Transit Avenues), and crossings of major geographic barriers such as rail lines, rivers, ravines, and freeways. The spoke routes feed to a Central Area also included in the Bicycle Priority Network. The Central Area is comprised of numerous routes in the major destination areas of Downtown and Old Strathcona and include many specific work, school, post-secondary, shopping, entertainment, political, recreation, cultural, and social destinations. These areas are currently and will continue to be the highest demand areas for cycling, and therefore, represent high profile cycling routes. Due to the large concentration of destinations within the Central Area, all routes from the Bicycle Transportation Plan bicycle network within the Central Area are also routes on the Priority Bicycle Network. Most of the routes in the Central Area are or will be on-street facilities in the form of bicycle boulevards, bike lanes, buffered bike lanes, and cycle tracks, although some facilities within the river valley and ravines are off-street shared uses paths.
