The Director Planning and
Building submitted a report informing the Committee of proposed improvements
to the Gilmore Urban Trail from Canada Way to Dawson Street. The report
describes the design of a proposed 640 metre section of trail from Canada Way
to Still creek Avenue, improvements to the existing Urban Trail from Still
Creek Avenue to Dawson/Henning Drive and a proposed wayfinding system.
The Committee requested
that signage and marking include advance warning to northbound motorists on
Gilmore Way, well in advance of the lane-drop at Manor Street to mitigate
confusion around the new traffic pattern. The Committee also requested consideration
be given to the addition of a painted gore to facilitate merging of the
northbound traffic, prior to Manor Street, into a single lane.
The Committee suggested
that staff liaise with Fire Hall Station No. 7 to ensure that traffic changes
in the area would not impede on their ability to exit the fire hall.
Staff undertook to
follow-up on the requests of the Committee.
The
Director Planning and Building recommended:
1.
THAT the Transportation Committee receive for their information the proposed
design and improvements to the Gilmore Urban Trail from Canada Way to Dawson
Street.
