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).

Traffic Update – June 5

Hello Lakeview Members,

Please see below message and attachments regarding traffic changes at the Lakeview roundabout at Grey Eagle and 37th Street SW.  Traffic changes to begin on June 8th.  More information can be found here:  http://www.swcrrproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/SWCRR-Traffic-Advisory-37th-ST-SW-Roundabout-Closure-Phase-1-2-P.._.pdf

We are gearing up to complete the work on building the final Lakeview roundabout and parking area. We would like to begin construction activity in the beginning of June, and are expecting to be wrapped up on July 6th 2020.

In order to maintain access to the Lakeview community while we complete this tie-in work, we are proposing a two-phase shut down of part of the roundabout access. The first phase would close the North portion of the round-about up to 54th Ave SW. Traffic would be detoured South to 58th Ave to get into the community. During the second phase, we would close the South portion of the round-about up to 58th Ave SW. In the second phase, traffic would be detoured to 54th ave to get through. Each phase is excepted to take two-weeks to complete the subgrade, electrical, and final curb, gutter, and paving.

We are hoping that we can work together to ensure there is a minimal impact to the community while construction takes place. I have attached our proposed detour route and VMB (Variable Messaging Boards)  plan for each phase for you to review and comment on. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with this proposed detour.

Kind Regards,

Aug 9 – Traffic Updates this Weekend

Project update – August 9, 2019​

For regular updates on traffic information and lane closures for projects under construction in the southwest, click here.

Glenmore Trail

Crews are currently working on the eventual eastbound lanes.

Crowchild Trail

Crews are focused on the widening of Crowchild Trail to the west.

A major milestone was reached for the 54 Avenue S.W. pedestrian bridge project, as crews moved and installed the bridge truss over Crowchild Trail. Watch the video of the move and installation of the bridge truss. Work is progressing toward bridge completion, and once the new bridge is open the existing bridge will be demolished to allow for the widening of Crowchild Trail.
