3 Avenue South Beautification Functional Planning - Stafford Drive to Mayor Magrath Drive

Prior to the construction of Highway 3 (Crowsnest Tr), 3 Ave S functioned as the major road through Lethbridge along Highway 3 east and west of the City limits. Since Highway 3 was reconstructed (mid 1980s), 3 Ave S has transitioned to a commercial corridor between Scenic Dr S and Mayor Magrath Dr S. Because of these years of change, the functional and visual characteristics along 3 Ave S vary significantly making it disconnected and at times, dysfunctional.

The 3 Ave S Beautification Project is a planning exercise that will take into consideration current businesses as well as existing planning documents such as: Transportation Master Plan, Heart of Our City Master Plan and Cycling Master Plan. Community engagement and feedback will be a critical part of this plan. We look forward to working with residents to create an exciting new vision for 3 Ave S. We are looking for feedback around how the corridor should function including traffic patterns, bike lanes, accesses, and parking is what we are looking for at this time from stakeholders.

To learn more about past engagement and the work that has been done for the functional planning study to date please take a look at the presentation boards from our most recent open house event. https://getinvolvedlethbridge.ca/12910/widgets/51852/documents/91222
