I know studies have been done that show increased traffic volumes can be accommodated after the redevelopment, but how much more traffic can we expect in the neighbourhood?
Our draft analysis shows that the planned road system can accommodate traffic generated by the proposed 1,750 residential units and the proposed retail area. There will be increased traffic volumes on 90 Street and 87 Street, but it is important to realize that the anticipated increase on these two streets would be roughly equal to what would have been expected had the approved 1984 redevelopment plan for Strathearn been built.

It is important to note that the projected traffic volumes for the completed development are well within the City of Edmontons guidelines of acceptability. When the development is complete, the average delay expected during the peak hour at the key collector to collector intersections is between 10 and 30 seconds, and may typically mean a one- to three-car queue. The traffic study will be posted on the website as soon as it has
