Update: December 30, 2022

Adjustments made:

The bike lane on the northside of Victoria Promenade has now been removed, and 19 loading and parking spots have been reinstalled.

The bike lane on the south side, as well as the traffic calming on 100 Avenue east of 117 Street, will remain in place. The speed limit along the Victoria Promenade has been lowered to 30 km/h. You will notice new speed limit signs to bring awareness to the new speed limit.

When Cycling and Driving:

• When driving and cycling west, use the street in a single file until the intersection of 121 Street and Jasper Avenue. Cyclists will then move into a protected bike lane to allow for a safer transition through the intersection.

• When cycling east, continue to use the protected bike lane on the south side of the Victoria Promenade.

Snow and Ice Clearing:

• As you may have noticed, snow does accumulate around and on top of the adaptable traffic measures on the street. This is expected and not unsafe.

• Snow and ice is maintained as part of the standard Snow and Ice operations prioritization schedule, which can be found at edmonton.ca/SafeTravels.

If any issues are experienced with the remaining adaptable traffic measures, residents are encouraged to contact 311 for the most efficient response

Update: December 19, 2022

As soon as the weather and extreme temperatures permit, adjustments will be made to the Victoria Promenade Pilot Project. The timing of this will be driven by temperatures and ensuring that working conditions are safe for our staff (ie. City crews cannot safely perform the work in temperatures lower than -25 degrees).

We have seen a positive impact on speeding, shortcutting and cyclist behaviours as a result of this project. The installation, however, did not meet the needs of a cross-section of community members and highlighted opportunities for improvements. We are committed to listening and learning, and we want to thank Edmontonians who have shared their experiences with the Victoria Promenade pilot project.

The fall engagement report summarizing the results of the public engagement and the technical analysis is now available here.

Planned Adjustments:

• We will begin removing the north side bike lane along the Victoria Promenade from 100 Avenue and 117 Street to south of the intersection of 100 Avenue and 121 Street.

• The speed limit along Victoria Promenade will be lowered to 30 km/h.

• 19 of the 20 original loading and parking spots will be re-installed on 100 Avenue.

  • The loading zone in front of the Mayflower building will be re-installed on 100 Avenue, so the loading zones on the side street near the Mayflower building will return to their original two 2 hour parking stalls.

• The bike lane on the south side of the street, as well as the traffic calming on 100 Avenue east of 117 Street and between 116 and 117 Street, will remain in place.

Once the adjustments are complete:

• People driving and cycling west will use the street in a single file until the intersection of 121 Street and Jasper Avenue. Cyclists will then move into a protected bike lane to allow for a safer transition through the intersection.

• People cycling east will continue to use the protected bike lane on the south side of the Victoria Promenade.

Snow and Ice Clearing:

• As you may have noticed, snow does accumulate around and on top of the adaptable traffic measures on the street. This is expected and not unsafe.

• Snow and ice is maintained as part of the standard Snow and Ice operations prioritization schedule, which can be found at edmonton.ca/SafeTravels.

If any issues are experienced with the remaining adaptable traffic measures, residents are encouraged to contact 311 for the most efficient response.
