Designs approved for Kings-Haultain, Richardson, Kimta / E&N Connector, and Government Street North corridors
July 10, 2020
On July 9, 2020 Council approved the next phase of cycling routes in the City’s All Ages and Abilities Network. Council passed several motions adopting the recommended designs for road safety improvements on Kings-Haultain, Kimta Road / E&N Connector, Government Street North, and Richardson Street. Council directed staff to make a few changes to the recommended designs including: not adding angled parking on Paul Kane and Cooperage Place as part of the Kimta/E&N project, and expanding the scope of the Haultain corridor project to include opportunities for traffic calming on Fernwood Road. Council also directed staff to proceed to detailed design and to incorporate project costs into the 2021 Draft Financial Plan.
Council also adopted the recommendation to temporarily designate the off-street bike path on Dallas Road, from Lewis Street to Ogden Point, to a multi-use pathway for a term of 18 months. This recommendation came in response to an increased demand for outdoor space in light of COVID-19 and balances City priorities around accessible spaces and ecological restoration in the park.
