Project overview

We're planning a street maintenance project to repair the pavement on 2nd Street S., from 2nd Avenue S. to 13th Avenue S. We'll begin construction in Summer of 2023. This maintenance intends to extend the life of the street.

As part of this work, we're considering changes to improve safety for all people, with a focus on:

• Encouraging safer travel speeds
• Improving safety for people walking
• Upgrading the street corners to include accessible curb ramps
• Creating an all ages and abilities bicycle route

Resurfacing work

We'll replace the top layer of pavement as part of an ongoing maintenance program. This will extend the life of the street between larger reconstructions projects. The new pavement should last at least  10 years.

Safety work

We'll also look at changes to the existing street configuration to improve safety.  

This includes:

• Installing an accessible curb ramp at corners where there is need
• Narrowing the street to better manage vehicle speeds by creating a two-way bikeway on one side of the street
• Making it safer to walk across the street with concrete medians at priority locations

Project goals

• Make it safer to walk along and across the corridor
• Create an all ages and abilities bicycle facility
• Keep traffic moving at an acceptable level
• Allow access for residents and visitors
