• According to the Lakeview Community Survey data collected last June, the top 3 traffic calming measures that were selected by residents are: 1) Pedestrian crossing signs/lights, 2) Speed bumps/raised crosswalks and 3) Reduced speed limits.  Based on this information, the traffic committee has chosen to work on reducing speed limits in Lakeview to enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety as this can be done relatively quickly and efficiently.  The other measures will have to go through the City’s traffic calming process which can take up to 3 years, if approved.

• The speed limit on 63 Ave SW (from Crowchild Trail to Lakeview Drive) has been reduced to 40km/h effective immediately. However, the playground zone speed limit along 63 Ave remains at 30km/h from 7:30 to 21:00 daily.  The LCA traffic committee requested this change on behalf of Lakeview residents to increase pedestrian safety along this busy route.  Drivers, please adjust your speed accordingly.

• City of Calgary, ‘SLOWS’ trailers (electronic speed signs) will be deployed in Lakeview from May to June and September to October at several different locations including 58 Ave, 63 Ave, Lancaster Way and Lakeview Drive.

• The City of Calgary has confirmed 3 locations along Glenmore Trail for their traffic noise study to confirm the sound levels that were recorded for the LCA in June/September 2022.  The LCA study indicated sound levels of 62-68 dBA and the city design standard for the current sound wall is 65 dBA.  The new study will be completed in April 2023.

• The City Calgary has informed the LCA that work on the Crowchild Trail bridge over Glenmore Trail will begin in April and be completed by Fall/Winter 2023.  Please plan for delays during this time as there will be lane closures. For regular updates and to sign up for the project newsletter go to: Calgary.ca/CrowOverGlenRehab.

• 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].

Stay safe this spring!

Lakeview Speed Limit Signs

Here is a summary of the speed limit signs that you will see around our neighbourhood:

Playground zones have a maximum speed limit of 30 km/h from 07:30 to 21:00 hours, 7 days a week.  The City of Calgary merged all school zones into playground zones in 2017. As a result, any road that borders a school is considered a playground zone.  In Lakeview, our schools are Connect Charter (58 Ave), Jennie Elliott (30 St) and Bishop Pinkham (63 Ave).  The combined student population of these 3 schools is approximately 1,800 students, so please drive safely to protect these children. 

All other residential roads in Lakeview without a speed limit sign such as 58 Ave and Lancaster Way SW have a maximum speed limit of 40 km/h. Some roads such as 63 Ave and Linden Drive are also 40 km/h zones and they have 40 km/h signs.

The only roads in Lakeview with a maximum speed limit of 50km/h (outside of any playground zone)are 37 St, 66 St, Lakeview Drive and Crowchild Trail SW.

Please drive accordingly based on the posted speed limits and the current weather conditions.

The City of Calgary has let us know that they will begin bridge rehabilitation work starting in April: 

As part of The City’s bridge rehabilitation program, we are rehabilitating the Crowchild bridge that runs over Glenmore Trail to improve the condition of the bridge and extend the structure’s service-life by approximately 30 years. This work will include general concrete repairs as well as improvements to active modes of transportation for pedestrians and cyclists by creating a multi-use pathway on one side of the bridge. We will also enhance crosswalk markings located at the north and south intersections of the bridge to help improve visibility and accessibility. Lastly, this project provides an opportunity to improve traffic signal placement through life-cycle work.  

Construction is anticipated to start in April of 2023 with substantial completion later in Fall of 2023. During construction, there may be delays due to reduced and/or closed lanes. We will make every effort to limit impacts on traffic; however, commuters are advised to expect delays and use alternate routes when possible. It is anticipated that pedestrian and cyclist access will be maintained throughout construction. 

Please feel free to review the project web page at calgary.ca/planning/projects/crowchild-tr-over-glenmore-tr-bridge for the most up to date information regarding the project, traffic impacts and a link to subscribe to receive newsletter updates.

Effective immediately, the speed limit on 63 Ave SW (between Lakeview Drive and Crowchild Trail) has been reduced from 50 km/h to 40km/h, outside of the playground zone. The playground zone speed limit remains at 30km/h from 7:30-21:00 hours (7 days a week).

Please slow down and watch for pedestrians and cyclists in this area.

Lakeview Community has been organizing a long and successful youth soccer program for many years. The focus is on fun and participation for all. It is a fantastic way to get your kids active plus it is a chance for children and parents alike to connect and re-connect with old and new friends in our fantastic community. All are welcome and encouraged to join. The season is approximately eight weeks long (mid-April to mid-June) with two sessions per week. The fee is $70 per child and a Lakeview Community Association family membership is required.

This year, Lakeview will be offering 4 full mixed age group programs.  The U6, U10 and U13’s will play on Mondays and Wednesdays while the U8s will play on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The emphasis is always on fun and providing a positive social experience through this great sport.
