Traffic Update

Here’s an update on some of the traffic issues affecting Lakeview residents:

  • The city has confirmed that 2 permanent Engine Brake Prohibited signs will be posted on Glenmore Trail SW between 37 St SW and Crowchild Trail SW.  These signs will allow the Calgary Police Service to enforce this prohibition with fines.  They should be in place by end of May.
  • The construction of the missing sound wall behind the Boardwalk Apartments/Lakeview Baptist Church will start in May and be completed in July.  On completion, Lakeview will have a continuous sound wall along Glenmore Trail from 37 St SW bridge to Crowchild Trail SW bridge. No improvements will be made to the existing sound wall at this time.
  • The city has committed to a Glenmore Trail Noise Study for Lakeview with the completion of the Southwest Ring Road construction.  This is scheduled for summer of 2022.
  • The first step in the upgrade of the intersection of 37 St SW and 66 Ave SW is for the city to conduct a traffic count of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.  This is scheduled for May/June 2021.
  • Effective May 31, 2021, the city has lowered residential speed limits to 40km/h from the current speed of 50km/h.  The roads that are not affected by this change and will remain at 50km/h are 37 St, 66 Ave, 63 Ave, 58 Ave, Lakeview Drive and Crowchild Trail as these roads are designated as collector roads by the city.  Playground zones still remain in effect at 30 km/h, 7 days a week between 7:30-21:00 regardless of the new speed limits (see Ward11-map).

Lakeview Community Events Update – 2020-03-15

Lakeview Neighbours;

The purpose of this email is to communicate status of several Lakeview Community Association (LCA) activities. The LCA has reviewed activities that have been initiated and other activities that are still in the planning phases. The LCA wants what is best for our community. We are following guidance from Alberta Health Services (AHS) regarding COVID019 and will provide updates if necessary. 

( https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/topics/Page16944.aspx )

The dates for the following activities have been revised: 

Pre-School

Our priority is for the wellbeing of our students, teachers and families and we’ve made the difficult decision to close the preschool next week, March 16th to 20th. As you may know we were already scheduled to be closed from March 23rd to 27th for March Break.  We will re-evaluate the situation at the end of March Break and provide parents an update before March 30th.

Karaoke Night

The original date of March 28 is being postponed until a future date.

Thank you to all the volunteers that have worked to plan and update all these LCA activities.

Thank you also to all the Lakeview residents who are helping their neighbours. A recent example of a new local “Grocery Angel” popping up and numerous “Snow Angels” have been reported. 

Yet another example of how supportive a great community like Lakeview can be, especially in extraordinary circumstances.

Be safe, have fun, and please let us know any time of any needs, concerns or comments.
