Through several community meetings and virtual open houses, Public Works has heard from both sides equally about keeping or removing the existing slip road.

In addition, Public Works heard a strong desire to keep the park separated and clearly delineated, as well as concerns over challenging sight lines at the intersection of Edgcumbe Road and Hampshire Avenue, particularly for left-turning traffic.

To address a variety of residents’ concerns, the project has proposed a modified solution. The new layout for the slip road maintains the separation and narrows the roadway while increasing park space.

Stop signs on both sides will slow and stop traffic to aid formal turns, which is an important safety consideration with the addition of the bike lane.   This solution also squares off the access points to prevent free right turns and merging lefts.
