What will the flow of traffic look like? What are the hot spots?
A The Ramsay Exchange development is designed to make pedestrian travel simple and safe. For vehicle traffic that will access the area, however, a combination of exterior public and interior private roads will create an efficient circulation system. Appropriate handling of traffic capacities through road and intersection design, as well as the introduction of traffic calming measures ensures that most traffic entering the development will not need to pass through the existing community of Ramsay. There are five access points to Ramsay Exchange; the road hierarchy is planned to ensure that the primary access point occurs from the south of Spiller Road onto Exchange Road, which functions as the main arterial road through the development. The City of Calgary is currently assessing the traffic situation at the intersection of Blackfoot Trail and 25th Avenue SE. See Figure 8.5 in the Outline Plan for a layout of the Road Network and traffic flow.
