Wine Night Cancelled

To all our wine enthusiasts,

As many of you may already know, the Lakeview Community Hall is undergoing roof repairs. Unfortunately, the hall will not be available in time for us to complete our 2023/24 Wine Appreciation Events. So, it is with heavy hearts and empty glasses that we announce the remaining planned events for this season are cancelled. 

Not to despair! The upside of this situation is that we are already set for next season! We have shifted our spring schedule to the fall, and wow, do we have a great season opener planned! 

Have a wonderful spring/summer and we look forward to seeing everyone again at the October season kickoff event.

December Traffic Update

As winter weather will have arrived by the time that you read this newsletter, its important for Lakeview residents to adjust their driving for the current weather conditions. As our roads become icy this winter, remember to decrease your vehicle speed which also decreases your braking distance to come to a stop. After our first snowfall, I watched numerous vehicles slide through the 3-way stop at Lakeview Dr and Lancaster Way SW as these drivers were travelling too fast to be able to safely stop due to the icy conditions.

Here are some updates from the traffic committee:

  • On October 11, I spent an hour with a Calgary Police officer from the Residential Safety Traffic Unit monitoring the intersection of 37 St & 66 Ave SW for vehicles not stopping at the all-way stop. Over that time, this officer gave out 5 tickets of $405 and 3 demerit points to drivers for failing to stop at a marked intersection. Please remember to come to a complete stop at this intersection (all ways), especially if pedestrians are present, as the fine rises to $810 and 4 demerit points in that case.
  • The speed limit on Lakeview Drive has been reduced from 50km/h to 40km/h. Please adjust your speed accordingly.
  • The Crowchild Bridge Rehabilitation Project over Glenmore Trail has been completed. Thanks to all Lakeview residents for their patience over the past 6 months!
  • For speeding concerns, please contact the Calgary Police Service on their non-emergency line: 403-266-1234 or submit a traffic service request (TSR) on their website.

If you have any traffic concerns or questions, please send an email to [email protected].

October 2023 Traffic Update

October Traffic Update

As you read this article, the kids will be back at school and parents will have settled back into their work routines. As we approach Fall, this is a good time to remind residents to look out for pedestrians and cyclists using and crossing our roads. Residents, please set a good example for visitors to our neighbourhood by following our speed limits, choosing not to park in restricted no parking/stopping zones and by not making illegal U-turns.

Here are some updates from the traffic committee:

  • Work will continue on the Crowchild bridge over Glenmore until Fall/Winter 2023. Please plan for delays during this time as there will be both bridge and lane closures. For regular updates and to sign up for the project newsletter go to: Calgary.ca/CrowOverGlenRehab.
  • SLOW trailers that display a message for drivers to slow down when exceeding the speed limit will be posted throughout our neighbourhood in September/October. Please do not park directly in front of the trailer as your vehicle will obstruct the display board for approaching vehicles.
  • The City of Calgary has completed their noise study along Glenmore Trail and a summary of these results is listed below. As 2 of these locations have a noise level over 65 dBA (the city maximum for a truck route), the city will be discussing with the traffic committee, possible noise mitigation measures.

  • The LCA has made a couple of speed signs that have the posted speed limits (one for 30km/h and the other for 40 km/h) on them with a message to slow down. If you are interested in having a sign to place on the street outside your home, please send an email to [email protected] to make a request.
  • We have heard several concerns from residents about drivers and cyclists not stopping at marked crosswalks and yielding to pedestrians in that crosswalk. As a driver/cyclist you must stop and then wait until the pedestrian has left the roadway before continuing on your way. Otherwise, this may cost you a fine of $810 and 4 demerit points. Please remember to drive safely.
  • For speeding concerns, please contact the Calgary Police Service on their non-emergency line: 403-266-1234 or submit a traffic service request (TSR) on their website.

If you have any traffic concerns or questions, please send an email to [email protected].
