Bridge Lake Drive Traffic Calming Project

Traffic calming measures are coming to Bridge Lake Drive between North Town Road and Eagleview Road.

Update: March 18, 2024 – The design presented in Phase 2 is now final.

Design solution

Map: Bridge Lake Drive (North Town Road to Eagleview Road) preliminary design

We are installing a variety of traffic calming measures on Bridge Lake Drive.

A speed table between Bell Flower Road and Rose Garden Crescent.
Two curb extensions and raised crossings: one at the multi-use path north of Lake Bend Road/Bell Flower Road and one at the multi-use path in front of the fountain. These crossings will be unmarked initially. We may enhance them further in the future.
A raised crossing at the intersection with Sablewood Road.
Sidewalk improvements at Rose Garden Crescent and Sablewood Road to improve connectivity to the Transit stops.

We have already installed additional signage to clarify on-street parking is allowed on the southeast side of Bridge Lake Drive and not allowed on the northwest side.

The Class 1 cost estimate to install traffic calming measures on Bridge Lake Drive is estimated as $423,000. These improvements will be funded through the Road Safety Improvement Program.

Existing conditions

Bridge Lake Drive is a two-lane, undivided, residential collector street
- It’s approximately 10 metres wide
- Parking is allowed on the west side of the street but parking spaces are often empty
- There is a sidewalk on both sides of the street
The speed limit is 50 km/h
The daily traffic volume is 1,600 vehicles per day, which is within the typical range for collector streets
In terms of land use, the street features single family residential properties and a variety of recreational outdoor spaces

Need for traffic calming

Bridge Lake Drive is a high-priority location for traffic calming measures.

We collected traffic data in April 2019:

The 85th percentile speed, which is the speed at which 85 percent of motorists travel at or below, is 56 km/h
About 340 vehicles travel 55 hm/h or faster every day

A third of these vehicles travel faster than 60 km/h

Traffic calming measures will be installed on Bridge Lake Drive to help slow speeds and create a safer space for all road users.

We aren't installing any traffic calming between the fountain crossing and Sablewood Road. Pembina Trails School Division has plans to construct a new school on this segment in the coming years.

The locations of the school's private approaches are yet to be determined.
Any traffic calming installed on this segment may need to be removed or changed, depending on the layout of the school.
The design includes traffic calming measures at either end of the school property.
Additional changes could be reviewed as the school's design is developed.

Next steps

Construction could begin as early as Summer 2024.
