Traffic May 2025
Traffic and Safety Update
As we move into summer, please remember to drive around the community with caution as more cyclists and pedestrians are out each day. A reminder that drivers must leave at least 1m (3.28 feet) of space between your vehicle and a cyclist when passing (this distance is measured from your outside mirror).
Street sweeping will occur on May 20 and 21 from 8am to 4pm in Lakeview, so watch for the signs that will go up in the community several days before. Fines for not moving your vehicle on those days are up to $120. Remember to push all street debris in front of your house about 1 foot from the curb to ensure the street sweeper can pick everything up.
Here are some other updates:
- The city has confirmed that construction on the replacement sound wall will begin summer 2025. During the first phase, residents will start seeing survey and utility crews working along the wall. Construction will be finished in 2026. The city will construct about 1.2 km of new sound wall along Glenmore Trail (see map below) that ranges in height from 2.4 to 4.4m to address the increase in noise over the sound design limit of 65 dBA. The new wall will start behind 5412 Ladbrooke Dr and continue east to 6107 Lacombe Way (where the current wall terminates). Thank you to all Lakeview residents that live along this wall and have been patiently waiting for this project to finally begin!
- A reminder to parents dropping off their kids at one of schools, only park in designated parking areas. Of particular concern is the west side of 30 St SW across from Jennie Elliot School. This whole side of the street is designated as no parking zone at all times. Please be respectful of your neighbours in the condos by not using this area as a school drop off zone. To report an illegally parked vehicle, call the Calgary Parking Authority at 403-537-7000, option 3.
- Glenmore Trail paving will begin this summer between Crowchild Trail and Elbow Drive. Most of this work will be done at night and on weekends to minimize lane closures.
