101 Avenue West Section (84 Street - 75 Street)
almost 3 years agoCLOSED: This ideas has concluded.How to participate: Share your ideas and read what others have suggested. Show your support by ‘liking’ the ideas that inspire you the most.
Questions:
- Do the recommendations below still enhance or achieve the vision for 101 Avenue?
- Is there anything else that may have changed or we should consider for the draft concept design?
Recommendations from Corridor Study:
- Use curb ramps at intersections, enhanced markings or crossing lights at cross walks, reduce crossing distances and provide a direct and clear path of travel for people who walk
- Provide pedestrian lighting
- Provide protected bike lanes on 101 Avenue, and connect bike lanes to bicycle network
- Provide a buffer where existing parking lots are beside sidewalks
APapenbrockalmost 3 years agoWhat about the 84th St. development project where it intersects with 101Ave? What happens west of 84th Street on 101 Ave to the ravine?

Please rework the 56 Street - 101 Ave intersection. This intersection is too tight and unsafe (particularly northbound). Thanks
1 comment0MSenioralmost 3 years agoEliminate or slow down slip lanes at 75 St
The right turn "slip lanes" at 75 St and 101 Ave have a round, constant turn radius that enables / encourages drivers to go quickly through the pedestrian crosswalk. I would favour eliminating them altogether, but if they *must* be retained, at least they should be designed with a sharp turn at the crosswalk, to force drivers to slow down at the crosswalk.

0 comment0Milesalmost 3 years agoPotentiate the Possible
Incentivize a mixed use middle density renewal by creating a streetscape that promotes and invites all modes of active transportation customers and welcomes a new base of neighbors to our community that will sustain our local businesses, and populate our schools. Reduce developmental barriers and ensure updated utility infrastructure is included to help create a 'Third Space' atmosphere of a vibrant new Greater Hardisty Main Street Corridor that is sustainable with sufficient density for business and infrastructure sustainability. Ensure a reasonable balance of vehicle access remains, albeit re-prioritized. Consider the full potential of this area to fulfill several varied urban renewal goals.

- Minimize the number of driveways crossing the sidewalks
StephenRalmost 3 years agoExcellent
Placing the priority on people spaces will support the use of the street as the area becomes denser and welcomes new residents back! Really great opportunities for current and future businesses to reuse the public realm in this location.
1 comment1Fix 101 Avealmost 3 years agoRequires Complete Overhaul
1.Left Turning Lights southbound on Wayne Gretzky Drive at 101 Avenue should have a double red to match those at 98 Avenue for enhanced safety and reduce shortcutting through to Baseline. 2. At the moment, 101 Avenue is treated and used as a short cut through the Terrace Heights neighborhood. 3. Reduce to 2 lanes from its current 4 and with this space.... 4. Add bike lane to connect along 101 Avenue to river valley trail system, 5. Add canopy/boulevard of trees to separate sidewalk from roadway 6. Add lights(vehicle activated) or crosswalk lights at 72, 73 and 74 street 7. Need to make this feel more like destination area(and we have the opportunity to do so as there is nothing like this on the east side of the city) where people feel safe and comfortable to walk and spend time if you are going to attract businesses other than marijuana, alcohol or cash chequing businesses, eg Ritchie Market or 124th Street. Cash your cheque, grab your booze, cannabis in Terrace Heights and then drive on to your destination outside the area seems to be our current slogan.

I realize this is a long term project, but first impressions are being formed by the early elements. I refer to the current construction on the south side of 101, between 73rd and 74th Streets - I believe an old service station site. Picture board narratives and other handouts suggested brownfield re-development with commercial on the ground floor and residential above. I'd be interested in what brownfield rehabilitation has taken place and to what level of certification? Sharing the back lane with this site, I didn't see a lot of contaminated soil(?) removed. And there is clearly no sign of residential above the single storey strip with seven small storefronts. There was also talk of underground parking - that didn't happen (related to contaminated soil?). The building is close enough to the street (101 Ave) that obviously parking requirements are intended to be met by parking behind the stores. I have previously raised concerns about 101 being made more pedestrian friendly at the expense of moving traffic to the lane between 101/100 Avenues. Not what the single family homes on 100 Avenue had bargained for. All the construction traffic - dump trucks, heavy equipment, construction deliveries have gone up and down our lane. Damage, wear and tear to the lane and often to driveway edges is evident. Why not use part of the 101 Avenue roadway for access like most commercial projects- especially considering the goal of all this work will be to reduce 101 in this segment from 4 lanes to two.

StephenRalmost 3 years agoSo exciting
Putting priority on people walking or rolling means that support this place in becoming a focal point of the community and destination to visit. Really exciting potential and appreciate the connections into Fulton Ravine. Further identification of inter-neighbourhood connections to Ottewell and farther-flung locations like 50 Street bridge should be identified and supported.
0 comment1SBalmost 3 years agoPlease make the separated bike lanes large enough for two or more people to bike side by side, and still allow passing.
I ride my bike with my kids all the time, and it's much nicer to ride beside them (ages 5 and 7) than behind them. Also make sure to design the bike lanes to accommodate different bicycle types, such as adaptive cycles, trikes, etc. I often pull a child in a chariot behind me, and the width is almost 1 meter wide, so narrow bike lanes can be hard to navigate.
0 comment0QT3.14almost 3 years agoOnly partial naturalization of green space at 67 St preferred
My neighbours and I use the green space at 67 St on a daily basis and now because the city has already stopped mowing the grass, the green space is inaccessible and unusable. The grass is too long for dogs or kids to play. We can't kick a soccer ball around like we used to each day. And the grass is so long now that the potential for ticks makes walking across the field to access the ravine seem a bit dangerous. I understand wanting to naturalize the area, but it's such a large area, why naturalize the whole space before adequate access for walking/biking through it is provided? Why did naturalization start before the public community engagement process started? Why is this naturalization happening now during a pandemic when we need access to green spaces where it's safe to play? I would urge the city to consider naturalizing a portion of the area, so that a park-like area can be maintained such that it is still a useable green space for residents of Terrace Heights. Terrace Heights doesn't have another large green space or a park space for playing frisbee, soccer, playing with the dogs, or walking, exercising, or having picnics. If the entire green space is naturalized it means residents of Terrace Heights will have to cross 101 Ave or cross Fulton Ravine to access a park space. Why not make it an actual park for Terrace Heights? That people can use as a park? If its naturalized in its entirety, it's not usable as a park for any type of play or activity. Providing a walking path through the park does not adequately correspond to the way the area is currently used by residents of Terrace Heights.
2 comments3SBalmost 3 years agoI would love to see a way for the City to construct a trail/bridge across the ravine connecting 67 Street to Fulton Drive.
It's so annoying that these communities are so close yet completely cut off by the ravine. I'd love to see a connection across to Fulton Drive so that we don't always need to come down 63 Street, which is a busy collector road and not very pleasant to walk or bike along.
2 comments2JRMalmost 3 years agoPotential for a shared community garden
Perhaps a small section of this green space could be committed to some community garden beds
