The City of Edmonton is adjusting two roads in busy and densely populated areas to provide more space to pedestrians and cyclists so that Edmontonians can effectively practice physical distancing while they are outside. The roads will be cleared of snow and will be swept before they open to shared use.
Roads for Walking and Cycling:
- Victoria Promenade (100 Avenue) from 116 Street to 121 Street: the bike lane will be expanded and converted to a shared-use space for people walking and biking
- Saskatchewan Drive from 105 Street to 109 Street: traffic is reduced to a single lane with the north lane converted to a shared-use space for people walking and biking
The City of Edmonton will also adjust push buttons (map) so that the pedestrian signals will become automatic at 56 intersections located in high pedestrian areas and around hospitals effective Thursday. The audible signal for the visually impaired will continue to be activated by pushing the button.
