  • East Keith
    • Staff are conducting a safety study on [East Keith from Sutherland down to Brooksbank]https://letstalk.cnv.org/cloverley-neighbourhood-traffic-safety-improvements
    • This would be worth participating in given the pinch point at Heywood and the downhill bike lane. We spoke with staff about this prior to the opening of the new left-turn lane access to HWY 1, asking them to implement separators where the dotted line invites cars into the bike lane. At that time they said lets wait until we see what happens with the new turn lanes. Since the opening we have observed no difference in behavior. I have inquired again, but no answer - could be they are waiting for the survey results. We have an official HUB letter ready to go, but not sure that is the best way to approach.
