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!

• Two public washrooms are currently being installed at Lakeview Lift Station and will be open for public use in Spring 2024. For more information go to https://engage.calgary.ca/Lakeview-Lift-Station.

• 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].

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.

HGC Engineering completed the LCA’s traffic noise study along Glenmore Trail in early September. The results show an increase in traffic noise at all 3 locations from 1-7 dBA during the 7-day measurement period (see map and chart below). The peak noise (L10) levels at each location for the Ladbrooke, Lockinvar and Lathom properties were 64.1, 67.8 and 62.7 dBA respectively. This compares with the peak noise measurements from our 2016 study of 62.7, 61.2 and 60.5 dBA recorded at the same 3 locations.
