  • What is being done about traffic at Ellerslie Road and 103A St NW at Rush hour? On any given morning I can be waiting 10-30 minutes at that intersection coming from Cavanagh on 103A St to merge on to Ellerslie. The reason is because when our light finally turns green there are cars right to the intersection and a red light at the intersection of Calgary Trail South and Ellerslie. What continues to happen is people use both lanes to turn right (illegally), when only one lane is supposed to be used, and this further slows down traffic. I believe the timing of the lights in that area has to be adjusted because I see many cars going along Ellerslie Road and getting through the light, when only 4 or 5 get through from 103 A St on to Ellerslie Road. Some days in the winter we actually backtrack 30 Ave SW from Cavanagh go to James Mowatt, all the way down to Ellerslie Road and straight past the above intersection. This can save 10 minutes and is a ridiculous increase in travel distance. Adding some additional apartment buildings would only increase traffic. This problem needs to be addressed. Thank you.

    Starting in 2022, a collaborative effort was initiated between the City’s Traffic Operations and Province's traffic signals team to enhance the signal timings along Ellerslie Road within close proximity to the Highway 2 interchange. New signal timings were implemented in June 2023 for the four traffic signals spanning from 103A Street to 101 Street on Ellerslie Road.

    These adjustments have improved the coordination along Ellerslie Road. However, congestion still persists during peak hours due to the limited capacity of the roadway. We acknowledge that drivers may experience frustration due to heavy traffic in this area. Widening of Ellerslie Road near Highway 2 and improvements to the interchange are ultimately required to improve this traffic congestion. However, this widening is currently not a priority as per the City’s Mobility Network Assessment and was not funded in the 2023-2026 Capital Budget.

    To improve operational efficiency at the intersection of 103A Street and Ellerslie Road, particularly for the northbound right turn movement during peak hours, the City’s Traffic Operations is adding a northbound right turn arrow on 103A Street that will be synchronized with the westbound left turn arrow. This will help reduce delays for northbound right turn movements, as they will no longer need to stop before turning right during the westbound left turn phase. These signal improvements are anticipated to be completed this year.

    Improvements to the intersection of 103A Street and Ellerslie Road are also required as part of development approvals along Cashman Crescent. These improvements include converting the northbound middle lane (currently left/through) to a through/right movement and installing a channelizing the eastbound right turn lane. These improvements are anticipated to modestly improve operating conditions and safety of the intersection. These improvements are conditioned with nearby developments and will be implemented as those projects are completed.

  • How will the city be improving road and transport infrastructure to accommodate for the increased usage brought on by this development?

    Oil asked about 1 month ago

    A Transportation Impact Assessment (TIA) has been submitted as a part of the application. The TIA reviews the anticipated development traffic increase and its effects on the surrounding lands and mobility network. Should the TIA identify there be a need for upgrades to the surrounding transportation network, it would be the responsibility of the developer to pay for and install those upgrades. The report is currently under review by City Administration.

  • There is talk about a transportation impact assessment - this is one of the main issues in the area - can the public see this report?

    Bill2 asked 16 days ago

    The applicant has submitted a Transportation Impact Assessment (TIA) to support their proposal which the City is currently reviewing. Once the application has been finalized, and the City’s review is completed, the TIA can be published. Once the report has been finalized it will be posted in the “Documents” section on the sidebar of this Engaged Edmonton page.
