Demonstration project

During the summer of 2022, we have installed temporary pedestrian enhancements at 36th Avenue East and 60th Avenue East intersections to show what permanent improvements could look like. Enhancements include center refuge islands for pedestrians trying to cross the road, curb bump-outs to slow traffic and give pedestrians a shorter distance to cross in traffic, additional pedestrian crossing signs and more.

These enhancements will stay in place until October and be removed for the winter season. If successful, they will be installed the following summers until permanent enhancements can be installed with the 2025 project.
