Questin 1 What has yur experience been with the trial measures? a) What has wrked well? b) What have been the issues? a) What has wrked well? Trial has failed!105 St traffic up 300% Nt much; unsafe n 105 Street Only intersectin median reduced frm utside cmmunity Less traffic n 106 St is great Very pr experience. T much traffic n 105 St and t nisy Nthing wrked well Srry but I dn t think any f these wrk well! Overall, I d nt find traffic has changed. There has definitely been an increase in traffic n 56 Ave, 55 Ave and 105 St. Keep stp sign n 53 Ave and 109 St. Traffic vlumes n 106 St. are dwn and I am very happy with this Why d yu want ut input nw? Yu never listened when we said d nt change 106 St. Nw yu want ur suggestins. We d nt want this Fr residents n53 Ave between 105 and 106 St. this trial has been gd. N mre late night airbrne cars at 100 miles an hur cming dwn 106. Drug dealing n 53 ave is als dwn because there are less escape rutes left. Nthing wrks if yu really want t knw Nthing has wrked well with this trial. It has created danger. The stp sign at 109 St and 54 ave is an excellent idea- it wrks well t slw traffic- it shuld be a 4 way. Safety fr the daycare n 106 St between 55 and 54 Ave has imprved. They have parking fr parents back and d nt need t crss 106 St frm cemetery anymre The numbers cllected n 53 Ave t 106St are ttally incrrect. The traffic is nw a ¼ f what is was befre the trial. U-turns frm the gas statin n lnger happen n 53 Ave because they can nw enter 106St t g suth and the traffic frm 120+ cnd units n 56 Ave nw ges dwn 105 St t 51 Ave instead f shrtcutting n 53 Ave t 106 St nw that they can g suth acrss 51 Ave anymre I live n 78 Ave and 106 St. I dn t fill there is any benefit frm this ther than t a few peple. It nw takes me lnger t get t Suthgate r Lndn Drugs. As I travel n 106 St I have rarely driven behind smene that drve 50km. They usually travel 35-45km. Where d yu get yur stats pm speed? Increased speed cmpliance n 109 St. Taking ut the 109 St barriers The trial measures have been a cmplete disaster Significant vlume reductin 109 St befre remval f barrier Nthing 109 St. traffic slwed dwn 2 P age
The city s grand plan fr a bike & unicrn lane dwn 106 St is nt ging t wrk s please put 106 St back t the way it was with lwer speed limits Nthing Decrease f verall traffic flw 106 Street traffic was reduced a lt Like the lcal traffic nly signs. Nt sure if its helping 109 St traffic was reduced I believe in these traffic calming measures. But 105 St needed the tweak. Right away t avid these angry peple. Please d the tweak My experience was very bad. This has interfered with my use f 106 St and 109 St. I pay my taxes like all the rest f Edmntnians Nt a thing has wrked. T dangerus fr this trial measure One way n 106 St has wrked well. Need t address 105 St. Traffic is definitely quieter n 106 St. thrugh Queen Alex cmmunity Bump ut by hall is great. Previusly a lst crsswalk nw safer fr kids t g t park/rink Traffic calming n 109 St and 106 th slwed Speed bumps n 109 St. Wrks a bit- 1 ways n 52 and 53 Ave but peple drive wrng way Angered residents Less traffic n 106 St Can be slved with happy residents and traffic lights n 106St 106 St is safer fr the schl children Nthing Anther waste f taxpayer s time and mney. Change 106 St back. 1b what have been the issues? I am very cncerned abut the intersectin f 106 Street and 56 Avenue. This is a prly designed intersectin fr all traffic n 106 Street that wishes t travel suth. As an intersectin fr ccasinal drivers wh wish t access the neighbrhd east f 106 Street, it is fine, but it has nw turned int a majr intersectin since everyne wh wants t travel suth must turn east there. Why is it a pr intersectin - It's n a hill. -It's slippery in winter. -It's a hazard fr pedestrians wh wish t crss 56 Avenue. -It's hard fr peple wh travel frm the suth, ging nrth-bund, t see vehicles turning nt 56 Avenue, in time t safely stp. -It encurages peple t make u-turns, further nrth (arund the schl), in rder nt t have t turn east n 56 Avenue. 3 P age
60 A Avenue has becme an incredibly busy rad at dismissal time. It is nt safe fr children r adults. The issues caused by making 106 Street ne-way nly, suth f the schl, has resulted in mre peple using 60A Avenue. With winter and snw appraching, there are many traffic snarls n this avenue, causing lng line-ups. It's als difficult fr the bus t depart (ging east-bund) after schl due t the increased traffic n this street. Finally, I think it's unfrtunate that the Traffic Measures have caused rifts amng many f the lng-term residents in the area. The peple living n 105 Street have seen a large increase in an area that shuld nt be used as a thrughfare. 105 Street is n lnger a calm, neighburhd street. It has made me a shrt cutter in my wn neighbrhd Bike lanes nt cleared r well-kept in winter Sme peple are even ging wrng way n 106St. Signage is nt clear fr ccasinal visitrs t the area 106 St. I must drive further t access my wn huse. 105 St & 55 Ave many fail t recgnize and stp at stp signs Traffic line up suth bund n 105 St and 51 Ave. Many vehicles cming up the ne way ff f Calgary trail (illegal flw f traffic) Vehicles are nt using Allard Way 106 Ave traffic reduced 55 Ave traffic increase east and west bund Shrtcutting increased significantly 105 St very busy, lined up at stp signs crssing 55 Ave. Have yu mnitred increased vlumes n: 80 Ave, 76 Ave, 72 ave all because yu can t use 106St. Traffic has been reduced n 106 St t accmmdate a very few peple but traffic has been increased a lt fr many mre peple Traffic n 106St has increased, but that is nt any different than n any ther rad in an lder neighbrhd. We are a grwing city increase is t be expected Accrding t yur calculatin nly 15% f cars are shrtcutting. 85% are nt 106 St. is ne f the few streets than can take yu in a straight line frm mst f the suth t the bridge fr nrth side. We were n 106St lking fr 55 Ave we missed it and turned arund t g back t 55 Ave. nw we are facing signs telling us the traffic is ne way. We shuld nt be ut in the dark (I guess) Yu stated that the current # s n 105St. were between 2000 and 3000. When I add the current numbers n the sheet it is 3031+2386+2783=8200 Bus speeds n 109 St. and driving in the middle f the curb extensins Near miss n Sept 19 Where are the shrt cutters ging t/cming frm? Are there any significant vlumes t and frm Whitemud Freeway? If s, why nt blck nrth bund access t 106 St and suthbund access frm Whitemud? Hw des any f this infrmatin affect the safety in the cmmunity? Peple turning the wrng way n 55 Ave. Traffic being diverted thrugh residential areas and turning left acrss traffic n 56 Ave. The city buses get tied up (3) at a time n 51 Ave. by Safeway at Suthgate Crssing. Crssing 111 St. again t g suth fr 1 blck and then crssing 111St again t g t bus statin. This is nt safe. This was mentined a year ag and nthing has ccurred t fix it. Speed n 106 St increased it is nw a race track 4 P age
Mre prblems fr garbage trucks nw in ur alley 105-56 Ave. Drivers ignre the must turn left & right n 106 St and 51 Ave and g straight. As a parent f Munt Pleasant schl kid I almst gt hit by giant brick delivery truck! Mre traffic hazards are caused frm the trial The curb extensins n 109 St are dangerus. There is nt enugh rm fr bus and cars tgether. My large van and a car dn t fit. Gd help us with snw and ice packs and there is abslutely n rm fr cyclists Vehicles ging straight thrugh n 106 St 51 Ave nrthbund r suthbund What times were taken fr numbers & speed Cutting thrugh n 105St. arund playgrund Trying t crss 105 St t catch bus n 51 Ave is almst impssible, cars, n 105 St turning right and left will nt let yu in. High vlume f traffic als speed increased drastically n 56 Ave Peple blw thrugh 56 Ave turn and g straight thrugh the wrng way Reduce the speed n 106 St. Traffic data slwer? Cnfused drivers, angry drivers intersectin mayhem Peple brke the law n 106 St and 109 St. t spite the measures Traffic increases t unacceptable amunt night time.-can t sleep etc. slutin is t stp trial put 106 St. back t its riginal state Experience is ne f amazement at the silliness. Issue is blcking a rad that ties nt Whitemud is needed. N prblems leaving 106 St as it was after rush hur it is fine. Reruting thrugh the cmmunity t get hme in the cmmunity. Parked cars bth sides f rad and tw lane traffic unsafe. Using streets have cars parked n bth side f the rad. The expectatins placed n residents fr their patience is uncalled fr Public input excuses decisin making. It seems public input desn t cunt 105 St. cars are getting impatient and turning int nging traffic Take vlume/speed measures befre remving trial measures The traffic is backed up s bad n 105 St. that I can t get ut f my back alley. 51 Ave. & 105 ST. Cars are still ging suth and nrth n 106 St crssing 51 Ave. Remve all cncrete barriers n 109 St between 51 Ave & 61 Ave very dangerus On 106 St, was the primary bjective t reduce vlumes? Shuldn t it have been t increase safety? We are tld that the slutin t high vlumes is t clse the facility. Is this ging t be the general apprach t high vlumes? A left turn uphill in frnt f ncming (traffic n 106 St) nrthbund traffic is unsafe The ne way nrthbund traffic in danger f traffic ging suthbund head n traffic accident is a cncern Traffic barriers *dangerus* What were the measures suppsed t accmplish? Was cutting traffic fr 14 hmes n 106 St. wrth disregard f ther area residents The left turn nt 56 Ave frm 106 St-highly dangerus Have yu see the number f vehicles lined up heading suth n 55 Ave & 51 Ave at rush hur in the afternn? It s just awful The numbers prvided fr speed and vlume lk better than what was described as a prblem in April. Why? Have injuries, fines r near-misses increased r decreased after the measures have been implemented. 5 P age
109 St stp signs are nt being beyed-this is nt safe (51 Ave.) 105 St. is nw unsafe Extremely disappinting. Our cmmunity has cme tgether t address all the issues with n changes t date! Safety, speed, sense f liveability has decreased, scializing with neighburs, much mre traffic, 105 St is nw a cmmuter rad, huse value decrease due t these changes, and prperty taxed increased $400.00 last year. All yu did was mve the prblem frm 106ST t 105 St. 106St has a large cemetery but 56 Ave and 105 St is all residential There des nt appear t be any statistics fr 105 St between 61Ave and 58 Ave. why? Traffic has increased. There will be mre accidents n 105 St. this street is nt meant t handle this amunt f traffic. This cannt remain as is. Speeding n 106 St majr prblem. Reduce limit t 40km (enfrced) and 30km in schl zne. 106 St mdificatins are nt wrking. The changes have created safety issues. A few weeks ag a van came suth n 106St thrugh the d nt enter while we were travelling nrth. It was dark ut-and scary t have this happen. Very dangerus Yesterday I saw a car g nrth thrugh intersectin n 51/106St nt beying sings creating mre chas I have been frced t use 106St. fr I live dwn 106St. Clsing dwn 106St. I disagree with what has been dne. it is, simply inefficient and ineffective fr s many reasns 105 St needs immediate attentin fr safety reasns t residents n that street Diverting traffic ff 106St. makes n sense that is a neighburhd street. Nt meant fr this amunt f traffic. Mre cngestin and safety issues fr residents. 109St and 60 Ave curb restrictins are nt wrking-the rad is t narrw- if yu meet a DAT bus yu bth cannt g thrugh. Will be a nightmare nce the snw builds up. I find it hard t check fr traffic when n 60 Ave.-turning nt 109St all the cement barricades are very distracting t lk thrugh when yu quickly check fr ncming traffic Cmplexes, schl grunds, any highly used bus (schl & ETS) Areas. D nt try t rute 106 St traffic t Allard way that frces all traffic past multi family Have 106 St g bth nrth and suth bund but reduce speed limit frm 76 Ave t 51 Ave t reduce r discurage shrtcutting 105St. in Pleasantview is prblem frm 61t 51 Ave. with snw and parking n bth side f the street, is essentially a ne way street and leads t many delays and frustratin nw and in winter. Parking culd be restricted t ne side nly t ease mvement. If shrt cutting is reduced, but speeding is still a prblem, des this mean it s the lcals that are a speed prblem? Curb extensins n 109 St. narrws rad t much. Meeting trucks and bus traffic dangeruswill be wrse with snw. We are a natin f drivers. Clsing rads desn t wrk Clsing a thrugh rad just mves the prblem. Let traffic mve thrugh the cmmunity Unsafe fr kids n 105 St. speeding n 105 St. Many blw thru intersectin at 105/55 Many still g wrng way suth n 106 St int tp f ne way and 56 Ave. Issue is: Are yu listening t peple? The issue n 106ST is speed which became wrse when the parking was eliminated and the bike lanes were put in The traffic n 106St was fine befre. Nw it is spilling east fr n gd gain. Change it back 6 P age
Increased traffic n 105St can t get ut f my driveway Pull curb extensins n 109 St befre there is a majr accident with a city bus and a family vehicle. There will be a huge liability suit. This is a larger issue. I live in Duggan and all my rutes all jammed. 11 St, 10, 114 & Calgary Trail 106 is inaccessible. I am very afraid that this will happen in my area (106St and 78 Ave) and we will t subjected t this Are yu measuring impact n businesses n 51 Ave. Traffic being diverted int residential area where large number f children live Lived 106 St fr 33 years pen 106 St befre smene gets killed. The traffic numbers are a lie. Speed limit wrks. Unsafe turns at 56St ging suth (crest f hill ging nrth while vehicles ging suth are turning left. What is the impact n air pllutin when the nly way t get t 51 Ave is t wait and idle at 111 Street while LRT slwly prgresses (15 minutes) Data shuld be cmparative what s the nrm fr the city- was there ever a real prblem/ what abut access at 76 th and 80 th Ave. What was the reasning f making 106T 56 Ave t 53 Ave a ne way cemetery n ne side? Reruting 106St traffic thru the 105St neighbrhd was a pr idea and cmprmised safety Speeders n 105St when n traffic increased nise Why d we shrtcut- because the main rads are super lusy during rush ut and ging thrugh the cmmunity cuts 10-20 min ff cmmuter time. Sync lights n 111St. expand Calgary trail and Gateway (the bigger prblem) Remve all cncrete barriers, bike lanes n 106 St. Perid. Very Dangerus make it 2 way again Traffic ging t 105 is a danger zne Clse calls n 106St-56 Ave with cars suth bund failing t turn Return t riginal suth with reduced speed n 106 St. Suthbund left turn -106St -56 Ave Dangerus. Increased traffic n 105St causing safety issue, sleep disturbances, increased stress, questin impact n prperty values. Vehicles backed up fr 3 blcks result in dangerus traffic maneuvers, semi s trying t turn nt 105St frm 53 Ave. These are public rads paid by all taxpayers. A small grup shuld nt have the right t make such drastic changes that affect s many. The city has grwn and the cmmunity needs t accept that change is inevitable all ver, nt just un-pleasantries Nthing has wrked well First issue is the secretive meetings that were and have been held fr nly invited, nt fr all wh wuld be affected. Hw cme measures were implemented when majrity vte against these measures and they clearly nt wanted. I live n 105St-58 Ave and pretty much avid 106 St as I can access 105St t 63Ave. I d feel that blcking 106 is unsafe. Lwer speed limit. Try smething similar t King Edward Park as I ntice pht radar alng there n a regular basis Since 106St clsed its feeling awful shuld pen 106St again Is this just subtle frm f Nimbyism? Creating a defact gated cmmunity I d nt think the curb extensins are safe, particularly in winter cnditins 7 P age
I n lnger buy gas at Petrcan I have t detur 2 blcks frm my hme in rder t get hme This is nt wrking fr the fllwing: safety issue f left turn at crest f a hill(54 Ave0 Speed limits and enfrcement f such are the answer n 106St. a sign fr n U-turns n 53 Ave will then be needed. I want t see numbers fr 109 St and 52/53 Ave. The bike lanes are used by cars(drpping ff kids) and cars line up t 56Ave/ they are creating prblems and bikers almst getting hit Incnvenience t mst peple in neighbrhd and unsafe fr residents Open 106St right away it s a hrrible mess and dangerus Verbal and physical threats t vlunteer cmmittee members Lw cmpliance with schl zne speed limits by Mt. Pleasant Curb extensins n 109 St : dangerus- buses use full rad and speed 109 St- cllect data bus speeds Need data n near-misses & injuries Unsafe t have a left turn at the bttm f a blind hill Prly thught ut. I d remve everything. I believe that if yu tk traffic data n 109St if had increased due t restrictins n 106St. Why change directin f the traffic fr 14 hmes n 106St between clsure signs The 109St slutin transferred the excess traffic t adjacent streets Fr many f us wh have nt had a schl zne fr many years- better ntificatin f schl znes bigger signs- flashing lights painted pavement at beginning L live n 106St, suth f 51 Ave. I m n lnger able t drive nrth r suth n 106St t get in and ut-yet peple cming east bund and westbund n 51 Ave are able turn nrth nt 106St. and drive thrugh The 54Ave 109 St barricade was a disaster I appreciate that it was remved relatively quickly Despite signage directing suthbund traffic n 106St t turn left at 56 Ave, sme peple cntinue suthbund, ging the wrng way n the ne way prtin f 106St. High vlume f traffic since the change Speed has increased drastically n 56 Ave Peple blw thrugh stp sign 105 St -55Ave. Still cars ignring 56 Ave turn and ging straight thrugh the wrng way n 106 St Majr prblem fr garbage trucks nw in ur alley 105-56Ave We definitely want 106St reversed back t riginal Wh is this s called cmmittee that was frmed as residents wh be affected were never advised via news letter Traffic is cming nrthbund frm 104 St. -51Ave nrth and suth bund thus creating back lg frm 51 Ave and nt 55 Ave We als have difficulty as residents trying t enter ur back alley frm 53 Ave I had a very clse call due t a vehicle ging 106st (wrng way). I had t jump the curb t avid a head n cllisin It s been hell I dn t enjy my frnt yard anymre because f the traffic nise The tw gals 1) reducing traffic vlume 2) reducing shrt cutting are at crss-purpses, bth cannt be simultaneusly achieved. 106 street is an imprtant crridr fr thse f us in Duggan wh patrnise businesses and schls in Allendale 8 P age
The neighbrhd was designed with 106 street as a crridr, it really desn t wrk if 106 street is clsed. It s a crridr rute between Whitemud and Whyte avenue, and it really shuld stay that way Rundabuts are the way f the future Traffic measures n 106 street have pushed mre traffic nt 109 street. Tw way stp n 109 street is dangerus, I have witnessed many near misses, bth with vehicles and pedestrians Speeding n 109 street is a real prblem. Vehicles still launch ver the speed bumps, especially when the stp sign is ignred Peple in neighbrhd diverted t g t businesses like Suthgate, Pleasantview Medical Centre, Petr Canada and Lndn Drugs Slutin: repen rad and reduce speed Slutin fr 105 street is t frce traffic t Allard way instead Suggestin fr imprvement: Ban parking n 106 street, remve the curb extensins, put in an ver the street pedestrian bridge fr the kids and relcate schl pickup t 60A avenue What slutin wuld yu suggest t endless issues? Stp ignring all the cmmunities nearby fr the sake f thse damn whiners in Pleasantview especially when (by yur wn admissin) shrt-cutters make up nly 15% f the traffic The current traffic measures blck access fr residents living Nrth and Suth f Pleasantview, taking students t Rideau Park, Mt Pleasant, Allendale and Strathcna high schl A left turn n 106 street is nt a prblem. I drive it every day! Cncrete barriers n 109 street were a bad idea The traffic reductin plan has failed. As a resident, I was willing t g ut f my way t incur incnvenience f nt being able t drive in my neighbrhd t see a psitive change, slwer traffic, less traffic and mre pedestrian safety Issue: pedestrian by Pleasantview Schl. It is s dangerus crssing the street in all seasns/ spring, summer and winter with the attempt t reduce speed. I have nt seen a reductin in traffic. *speed bumps* Drivers wh brke the law gt 109 street measures remved. Equate t harassed emplyee gets let g and harasser keeps jb Original issues have nly been distributed t residential streets which are less able t cpe with vlumes As a resident wh walks in the neighbrhd ften I wnder why there are curb extenders at the crss walk n 109 street when I never see it being used! Sure, put a traffic measure cntrl speed n 109 street but make sure it wrks. The speed measures are nt accurate. Vehicles are stpping t let busses r ne anther pass thrugh safely. This stps vehicles cmpletely, des nt reduce speed! The curb extenders have made the rad n 109 street int ne lane! A biker ging dwn the sidewalk n 109 street nearly rde ver an elderly gentleman wh regularly takes walks in the neighbrhd. Biker n sidewalk because f curb extenders Curb extenders have cmplicated snw remval, pstal delivery, garbage pickup at the hme where curb extenders have been placed n 109 street Awful, what a waste f tax mney! There is n prcess Pure hell There is a reasn that frward planners built an ff ramp at 106 street. T shut dwn Suth bund traffic is strange and reruting traffic int a neighbrhd with huses n bth sides and yung children while 106 street (ne way) has nly 28 huses and a grave yard lining it. Redirect traffic int neighbrhds is ridiculus! 9 P age
1. Mre traffic n 105 street frm 61 avenue t 51 avenue frm the trial initiative. Nt family friendly!! Wuld rather see mre traffic n 106 street 2. I wuld like the riginal traffic blueprint t be re-instated n 106 street, n bike lanes. I rarely see them used. We live in a vehicle cmmunity sciety. I dn t like being bttlenecked fr bikes 3. Intrduce 30km/hr 24 hr/day, speed limit n 106 street frm 82 avenue t Whitemud r 61 avenue t Whitemud Slutins: available parking at Suthgate/users access t LRT Slutin- speed bumps prir t Pleasantview schl and lcated within/after the schl Speed limit 30km all the way A few elite want a gated cmmunity Safety- smething smells wrng with this???? What/when is traffic mnitring happening in West Pleasantview area (54-57 avenue)? Why did they build 106 street verpass ver Whitemud freeway in the first place, t get traffic thrugh at 111 via 106 street Speed cllectin data is dne between the barriers n 109 street. This data is cmpletely misleading! Vehicles are slwing dwn because yu have made it impssible t have mre than ne vehicle pass thrugh barriers at a time Remve barriers n 109 street at 57/60 avenue Remember that the first tw wrkshps in 2014/2015 had 70% ppsed t the 5 trial measures that were implemented Previus public input was ttally ignred (the 5 lcatins were ppsed by 65% t 79% f attendees) The 106 street industrial high pressure gas pipeline will sn becme an issue. It is mre than 55 years ld and the traffic vibratins will affect it. In fill is the main prblem and will get wrse. Better access t and acrss Calgary Trail/Gateway culd help Speed, nise, vlume N cmparisn data fr vlume alng 109 street (befre nly) Issue: increased vlume n 105 street bth dangerus and unfair t peple wh bught int what was a quiet residential area (thse wh bught n 106 street knew they were n a cllectr rad) Blcking access t Pleasantview nt nly blcks access fr shrt-cutters but als access fr emergency vehicles Narrwing f 106 street by schl means cyclists are having t merge int vehicular traffic and as drivers nt curteus, this causes a safety issue fr cyclists with lwer speeds n 106 street, I will tell yu hw that myself and my neighbrs will revlt and shut dwn the rad 105 street issues: 1. Peple ignring ne way and prceeding Suth beynd 56 avenue-dangerus Left turn at 56 avenue belw crest f hill als dangerus In cllecting data- half the peple tnight were already at a previus meeting- screwed By city definitin every persn wh travels in ur city is a shrt-cutter 109 street 106 street traffic diverted t 109 street Rude peple Travelling Suthbund in Pleasantview used t be easy it is nw a big hassle Safety- met Traffic turning Suth n a ne way street.

Back t riginal design and lwer the speed limit n 106 street All neighbrhds suffer because strategic measures Yur shrt at percentage numbers d nt make sense at 105 street and 55 avenue. Vlume went frm 1243 t 3031= 150% increase yet we were tld shrt cut vlume is 18-30%. Our experience is: Mre nise Very difficult t back ut f driveway Mre stress Higher incidents f nt stpping at 105 street and 55 avenue Near misses Yu re creating traffic cnstipatin in this city Safety is an imprtant issue and traffic flw 109 street increased traffic since remval f barrier mre than pre trial I used 111 street until LRT went in, nw I dn t have a chice and 106 street was a viable alternative Vlume and speed are an issue fr the whle city- nt a slutin t clse all the rads! 106 street has same prblem all the way- nt just Pleasantview. What abut Duggan, Empire Park, etc. we pay taxes as well! As a taxpaying citizen I am restricted frm my travel as the neighbring cmmunity Pleasantview is clsed! T address cncerns by the whle cmmunity what abut the city as a whle? As a lng-time cmmunity league member in the City f Edmntn, I m appalled at this selfcentered cmmunity. Des Pleasantview cntribute its prperty taxes t the city r d they keep them separated as well? It is upsetting that as the hmewner f the prperty where the trial curb extensin was placed we were nt invlved in the decisin t place it there Infill husing will nly increase traffic vlume within the cmmunity Implementing (assuming) these measures cst mney a lt f mney. There may be a tax revlt in the winds 1. Difficult and time cnsuming t get frm my neighbrhd in Queen Alex heading Nrth n 106 street 2. Dangerus having a left turn n the crest f a hill 3.

Present system is frustrating t deal with when drpping ff children at the schl n 106 street 109 street has been a thrughfare fr at least 49 years- the length f time we have lived in Pleasantview We attended the 109 street meeting and save my sticky ntes then and nw I have t d this again!! Seriusly a waste f time and duplicatin!! Our entire table feels this way Where did yu/they think the 106 street traffic wuld g? Can t just mve the prblem t 105 street The traffic management plan has been a ttal disaster. Peple s safety has been cmprmised. Change it back! Tw grwn men were almst run ver at the curb extensin 57 avenue and 109 street because peple are mre fcused n getting thrugh the narrwed passage way than lking fr pedestrians Way t much traffic dwn 105 street and the speed 11 P age
The numbers the city has shwn this evening is nt what it lks like in the neighbrhd. The cmmunity is really quickly distrusting this cuncil and the city. The trial measures have been a failure frm the beginning. The majrity did nt and des nt want the 106 street the way it is nw. It s just ridiculus. The traffic n 105 street is very dangerus and a pain in the ass. If there is nt any changes made back t the way it was A small number f peple (15 huses) are being accmmdated at the cst f the majrity There was nly a perceptin f a traffic prblem nt a REAL prblem- this perceptin was f nly a small number f peple Dangerus medians due t difficulty r remving snw 105 street and 51 avenue is nt usable t residents f area during rush hur Stp sign at 105 street and 55 avenue is nw dangerus Why was 105 street Nrth f 56 avenue nt measured- it is being used as a shrtcut als I have adjusted t the changes because I believe safety is very imprtant fr all residents The crsswalk at 109 street where the barriers are placed is rarely used. We shuld nt have a measure there it shuld be at the fur way stp at 57 avenue and 109 street! Cyclists n 109 street are nt able t use the street safely. They are nw using the sidewalk which is extremely dangerus as have frnt driveways we back ut f Blcking 105 street is nt a slutin Experience: 1. Dangerus t turn left after Munt Pleasant Schl. Cannt see traffic n hill Experience: Much mre difficult t access Whitemud causing harassers Petr Canada and cemetery Make a kiss and drp ff at Mt. Pleasant schl 106 street green space. Last time I was suggested this Andrew said it was t expensive f an ptin. Really!? But wasting all this mney and n slutins is? Trial has been a disaster! Return 106 street t tw way, enfrce lwer speed 106 street and 56 avenue will have many serius accidents this winter Mst trial measures have created many high risk spts Peple are nt bserving stp signs, yield signs n 56 avenue/105 street and 105 street/55 avenue Dangerus situatin created by increased traffic in a very residential area n rads nt built fr high vlume traffic Fr ther neighbrhds interested in these trial measures, dn t d it. This is clssal waste f tax payer dllars. The number f peple in ur city is cnstantly increasing, these measures nly mve the prblem ver t yur neighbrs What happened t the prmised (verbal) remval f the left turning ban n East B 61 avenue at 106 street (Nrth B) Children cannt safely ride their bikes dwn 109 street anymre due t the barriers-curb extenders! T many schl buses dwn 105 street frm 4 a day t 24 a day- this needs t stp Hw much time, resurces and mney has the city spent (i.e. wasted) n their incmpetence t deal with this traffic calming measure?

Questin 2. What slutins wuld yu suggest t address these issues? Realign intersectin @ 109 St & T Ave t get rid f triangle island Diagnal median n 56 avenue 105 street t divert traffic n bus rute Reduce speed limits, enfrce and enfrce stp signs The slutin t speed is t nrmalize the street by reinstating the parking (bth sides) and eliminate the bike lanes Reverse the decisin and set a speed camera t reinfrce the speed limit! Reverse 106 street back t riginal Make sure the flw n 111 and Calgary Trail/Gateway mves well than yu get less shrt cutting My slutin will be t cnvince as many peple as pssible t vte fr a city cuncil member wh will remve these measures Remve the curb extensin n 109 street Change- tw way n 106 street.

D nt clse ff 109 street like Belgravia- traffic there is awful I prpse that the land Suth f Munt Pleasant Schl up t 56 Avenue and ging East t Serenity Gardens is turned in t a drp ff zne t accmmdate safe drp ff f students. Traffic lights wuld put this traffic safely back n 106 street 1.Speed limits n 106 street 2.

Prperty develpment needs t recnsidered n 106 street- t much infill Repen 106 street with measures t decrease speed may deter shrt cutting. We have suffered enugh Slutin ideas: speed bumps n 106 street r reduced speed limits Change: slw speed-need t mnitr and ticket Address vlume and speed as a city nt segregating each cmmunity Middle median with trees/shrubs dwn 109 street (like 106 street Nrth f 63 Suth f 76) Design is irrelevant. 106 street is a thrugh rad due t its gegraphy and freeway access.

Repen the street Reduce the speed limit t 30km/hr in Munt Pleasant Make a right turn indentatin n 106 street Nrthbund at 61 avenue s vehicles can turn right.

The stp sign n 109 street and 53 avenue needs t be a fur way stp. Nw it is dangerus because Nrth/Suth cars smetimes miss it (thugh it helps reduce speed) The best slutin fr traffic vlume and speed is t make the neighbrhd n lnger a thrugh neighbrhd. Have a few entry pints, but n straight thrugh street The final decisins abut the Pleasantview traffic slutins shuld cme frm a vte f cnsensus nly f Pleasantview residents Trial measures: curb extensins n 109 street are dangerus especially with busses and garbage trucks.

We shuld be lking at encuraging transit use r alternate transprtatin fr lder neighbrhds r maybe accept ur new reality f busy city. Higher traffic is a prblem with all neighbrhds.
