5 Avenue North and 13 Street
Consultation has concluded
The City of Lethbridge is beginning a functional planning and design process for 5 Avenue N and 13 Street along the following focus areas, including intersections:
- 5 Avenue N, from Stafford Drive N to 43 Street N (excluding the section between 23 Street and 28 Street N)
- 13 Street, from 26 Avenue N to 16 Avenue S (and 16 Avenue S from Scenic Drive S to 13 Street S)
- Options that include Bicycle Boulevards on 12C Street N and 15 Street S
- 16 Avenue S from Scenic Drive S to 13 Street S
These corridors have been selected for reasons:
- 5 Avenue N and 13 Street are important corridors connecting residential areas in north Lethbridge with downtown, the hospital and Hwy 3.
- Traffic is increasing on 5 Avenue N and 13 Street. As a result, the City anticipates the infrastructure upgrades will be required to improve safety, accessibility and vibrancy.
- The City of Lethbridge's Cycling Master Plan identifies 13 Street, from 26 Avenue N to 16 Avenue S and 5 Avenue N, from Stafford Drive N to 43 Street N as important protected bike lane connections within the City's bicycle network.
- 16 Avenue S between 13 Street S and Scenic Drive S is a short section of roadway with many conflict points.

Turning Arrows, parking, and more room for cyclists.
Honestly, I am having trouble remember if you already put turning arrows on the 13th Street/5th Ave intersection going north/south. But if you haven't (which I'm pretty sure you haven't) I would love to see that happen. Going both ways. Would also love to see some more parking along that block. Lots of good things are starting to happen there and its frustrating trying to find somewhere to park. Unless Scotiabank is closed for the day! Also, as a casual cyclists and driver I find it sketchy going down 13th street. Sometimes - even though prohibited I go on the sidewalk. I just can't count the amount of times a vehicles has brushed up to me and even having parked vehicles open their door infront of me. And as a driver I find it nerve racking seeing a cyclist on the road on that specific block because the street is so narrow.

Roundabout at 13 street south and 16 ave south
So great to hear the city wants to do work on a better system for 13 street North and South. I use this route to work each day. The bike path on 13 street is unsafe. I don't use it. It we had a safer option, I would like biking to work. Has the city every considered putting a roundabout at 13 street south and 16 ave south/Scenic drive South? That intersection would be great with a roundabout there. Access to 13 Street from Crowsnest Trail coming from the west would be a benefit to the area. 13 street and 5 ave North is very busy. People coming and going from that shopping center (Tim Hortons) have difficulty safely leaving that parking lot.

Ditch the bike lane on 13 Street from 9 Ave North south past 3 Ave South
13 Street North is too narrow in this section for added bike routes. Also, better marked cross walks would help. And could you do something with the planters near the underpass by Canadian Tire. Fill them with plants or remove them.
