Pedestrian safety is the focus of impending street improvements at the intersection of 15 Street and 52B Ave., which are scheduled to begin Wednesday, Sept. 14.
In conjunction with ASL Paving Ltd., the City of Lloydminster continues its 2022 Street Improvement Program by installing extended curb bump-outs to improve crosswalk entries and pedestrian safety, including installing steel bollards. Once complete, new road markings will be installed to make the crosswalks more visible to pedestrians and motorists.
The installation is similar to the crosswalks on 65 Ave. between 39 Street and 36 Street and at the intersection of 39 Street and 66 Ave. This work is expected to be completed by Saturday, Sept. 17, weather permitting.
The 15 Street and 52B Ave. intersection will be closed to all vehicles and pedestrians during construction. Local traffic will be permitted at the intersections of 12 Street and 52B Ave., 15 Street and 53 Ave., and 18 Street and 52 Ave.
Street Improvement Program
Start and end dates are tentative, weather-dependent and barring any unforeseen circumstances. Detour routes and road closures signs will be marked and installed. Construction notices have been distributed to all those who will be directly affected by the work.
Motorists are reminded to allow extra time for travel, slow down when driving in construction zones, and obey all signs, detours, and barriers.
Other areas included in this year’s Street Improvement Program, including traffic accommodation plans as they become available, can be found at Lloydminster.ca/SIP.
