Gatefield/Chilcotin & Gladwin Intersection Improvements

Thank you for your comment and for highlighting concerns regarding vehicle speeds on Gladwin Road.

As part of the Gatefield Chilcotin and Gladwin intersection improvements, the consultant is reviewing traffic operations, intersection safety, and approach conditions.

Your request to consider a traffic calming measure on southbound Gladwin has been noted and will be provided to the project team and consultant for review during the ongoing design development. Any potential measures would need to be assessed for feasibility, safety performance, and consistency with applicable design standards.

We appreciate your input as the project moves forward.

Thank you for your question. The City is currently working toward delivering the Gladwin Road and Chilcotin Drive intersection improvements as part of the current construction program. However, construction timing is dependent on several factors, including final design completion, approvals, procurement, contractor availability, and overall project delivery capacity.

While the intent is to proceed as soon as practical, there is a possibility that construction could be deferred to next year if scheduling or resource constraints arise. Project updates and confirmed timelines will be shared on the project page as they become available.

Thank you for your suggestion and for highlighting your concerns in this area.

We are happy to note your request for a potential pedestrian crossing at Harwood Creek and Nanaimo Crescent. While this is outside the scope of the current Gatefield Chilcotin and Gladwin intersection improvements project. This location can be reviewed through the Citys separate traffic safety and pedestrian crossing review process.

We encourage you to contact the Engineering Department directly so the request can be logged and assessed through the appropriate process. Your comments will also be shared with the project team for awareness.

Stage 4 is anticipated is to begin within a couple of weeks.

Signal timing and phasing are developed during the detailed design process and are reviewed to ensure the intersection operates safely and efficiently for all users, including pedestrians.

The proposed signal design will be developed in accordance with applicable engineering standards, guidelines, and best practices. Factors considered during signal design include pedestrian safety, vehicle operations, visibility, accessibility, and overall intersection performance.

Specific signal timing details, including pedestrian crossing intervals and vehicle phasing, will be finalized as part of the signal design process.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.

Thank you for your question.

The scope of this project is focused on upgrading the existing pedestrian signal at the Gladwin Road and Chilcotin Drive/Gatefield Avenue intersection to a full traffic signal, along with associated intersection improvements. The project also includes curb bulges on the side street approaches to improve intersection operations and pedestrian crossings.

The project does not include dedicated cycling facilities or corridor-wide traffic calming measures on Gladwin Road. However, the proposed traffic signal will provide controlled crossing opportunities for pedestrians and other road users at the intersection.

Your comments regarding cyclist and scooter safety, as well as vehicle speeds along Gladwin Road, have been noted and will be shared with City staff for consideration as part of future transportation planning and network improvement initiatives.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.
