Should Belgravia Change Its Streets to Reduce Rush Hour Traffic?
Official title: Belgravia Traffic Review Engagement
Edmonton wants to know what's causing traffic headaches in Belgravia. Drivers are cutting through residential streets to avoid congestion, especially during rush hour. The city is looking at both quick fixes and longer-term changes to calm traffic and stop shortcutting.
Why This Matters
Live in Belgravia? You've probably been stuck in your own neighbourhood during rush hour. Residents report being trapped for hours while speeding drivers cut through side streets. Kids walking to school share roads with frustrated commuters making dangerous U-turns.
What Could Change
The city could install traffic calming measures like speed bumps or turn restrictions. Signal timing at the LRT crossing might be adjusted. Some streets could become one-way or get new stop signs. Any changes need Urban Planning Committee approval and funding.
Key Issues
- What causes the worst traffic congestion in Belgravia?
- Where are drivers shortcutting through residential streets?
- Should LRT signal timing be changed to reduce vehicle queuing?
- What short-term and long-term traffic improvements should be considered?
