Issue and proposed solutions
Our Youth Council Chair has raised concerns over faded crosswalks, unclear lane markings and absent bike lanes at an intersection which separates the Varsity neighbourhoods in Calgary from a feeder highway called Shaganappi Trail. A wide single lane is often used as two lanes with drivers going at very high speeds, creating safety issues for cyclists and pedestrians. The youth leader recommends adding lane dividers, signage and bike lanes to improve safety. They have requested action from the City of Calgary and plan to share updates with their community group.
