Turning lanes at certain points – particularly the westbound right turn lane on Wyandotte Street East at Devonshire – can be removed without worsening traffic operations.
The following projects were identified as potential candidates for acceleration:
Route | ATMP Priority | Status | Good Candidate for Acceleration? | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ontario / St. Rose / Jerome Local Street Bikeway | Medium / Low (varies by segment) | Initial Planning | Yes | Priority is based on the Wyandotte Street East multi-modal corridor. |
St. Luke Road | Medium | Initial Planning | Yes | A bikeway connection at Wyandotte & St. Luke will help to facilitate bike travel into and out of Ford City, but will be of limited benefit for east-west travel along the corridor. |
Westminster Avenue | Medium / Low (varies by segment) | Initial Planning | Potentially - See notes | Between Wyandotte Street and Ontario Street or Raymond Street could be accelerated to provide a neighbourhood connection. Providing a new pedestrian and cyclist crossing on the VIA line (as envisioned by the ATMP) to connect further south will require negotiations with the railway and is likely not viable as a short-term project. |
