Expect minor traffic delays along Shannon Lake Road starting this week, as construction crews get to work on the next phase of West 麻豆精选鈥檚 active transportation project.
Beginning June 19, crews will start building the second section of the Shannon Lake Active Transportation Corridor. The work will stretch from 2649 Shannon Lake Road to Golf Course Drive and is expected to take about a month to complete.
Single-lane alternating traffic will be in place on weekdays. On June 19 and Friday, June 20, the lane closures will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. After that, they鈥檒l be in effect from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each weekday until the project wraps up. The schedule may change depending on the weather, contractor availability, or other factors.
This phase of the project includes 400 metres of new sidewalk, bike lanes, and street lighting鈥攑art of a broader effort to make the area safer for people walking and biking.
After finishing the first section of Shannon Lake Road upgrades, the city had some budget remaining, which opened the door for additional work at the Tallus Ridge intersection. These interim upgrades required extra design, utility coordination, and conversations with the nearby golf course. While the extra steps delayed the project, city staff say the work was necessary to improve long-term safety and traffic flow.
Drivers are asked to be cautious around the construction zone and give roadside workers extra space. Pedestrian access will stay open, and cyclists are encouraged to follow signs or walk their bikes through the area. Emergency services and transit will continue to have access at all times.
