The City of Delta has issued a request for proposals for the construction of crosswalk improvements at several sites.
The pedestrian safety improvements will take place at 6 Avenue and Milsom Wynd, 62 Street and Holly Park Drive as well as 112 Street and 88 Avenue.
The upgrades will include curbs, sidewalks and let-downs, updated pavement markings, as well as pedestrian and traffic lights.
It’s the first phase of the Neighborhood Traffic Management and Crosswalks Project, and is to be completed by March 15, 2024
The city also recently issued a request for proposals for intersection signal improvements at 60 Avenue and 62B Street, 84 Avenue and 116 Street as well as 12 Avenue and Morris Crescent.
Those upgrades are to be completed by Aug. 30, 2024.
In a presentation to council last fall, meanwhile, engineering Director Steven Lan outlined a number of measures his department will explore as it looks to create a new approach to implement neighbourhood traffic calming.
The approach will be based on neighbourhood engagement, rather than individual complaints, he explained.
Lan also noted current speed limits may not meet neighbourhood expectations, so a lower speed limit on streets may have to be considered.
