The City is committed to improving mobility, safety, and efficiency for all road users through our Intersection Improvement Program. This program focuses on addressing capacity requirements, enhancing safety, and reducing congestion in existing areas of the City.
How Are Intersections Selected for Improvement?
Each intersection is reviewed on a case-by-case basis using operational analysis and safety warrants to determine the type and timing of improvements needed. Examples of warrants and analysis used to assess the need for intersection improvements include:
• Pedestrian crossing control warrants
• Traffic signal warrants
• Level of service (LOS) analysis
• Volume to capacity ratio analysis
• Collision data analysis
What Types of Improvements Are Included?
Improvements are tailored to the unique needs of each intersection, based on operational analysis and recognized safety standards. Key upgrades may include:
New pedestrian infrastructure: Installation of pedestrian signals such as Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFB).
Traffic signal upgrades: Enhanced or new traffic signals to optimize traffic flow.
Geometric changes: Adjustments to roadway layouts to improve traffic flow and safety.
Roundabouts: Safer and more efficient intersection control to reduce delays and collisions.
Traffic calming measures: To slow speeds and enhance safety, such as Lane restrictions and bulb-outs at intersections.
Current Intersection Projects
The following intersections have been identified for construction upgrades in the Spring / Summer of 2026 as part of the program:
College Drive South at 28 Ave / Tudor Blvd South
Roundabout and overall safety improvements
Stafford Drive North at 3 Avenue North
Full traffic signals
Accessibility improvements all around the intersection
Side mounted RRFB pedestrian crossing and curb extensions on both sides of roadway
Columbia BLVD W Mid-Block Pathway Crossing (near Harvard Crescent W)
Side mounted RRFB pedestrian crossings and curb extensions on both sides of roadway
Garry Drive, Pathway Crossing (near Good Samaritan)
Overhead RRFB pedestrian crossings
University Drive W / Canyon Parkway Mid-Block Pathway Crossing
Side mounted RRFB Pedestrian Crossing
Mayor Magrath Drive at 20 Avenue South
Dual left turning lane (convert from 1 turning lane into 2 turning lanes)
Fairmont BLVD South at Fairmont Gate South
Change temporary median into permanent median
Fairmont BLVD South at Fairmont Gate South
Change temporary median into permanent median
These upgrades reflect our commitment to maintaining service levels and improving transportation safety and efficiency for all road users. Stay tuned for updates as we implement these changes to make traveling in our city safer and smoother for everyone!
