Lane Shift at 23 Avenue and 111 Street Intersection

Important Notice: Beginning on/around November 16, 2024, a major lane shift at the 23 Avenue and 111 Street intersection will be implemented. The change is expected to remain in place for approximately Two Years.

What to Expect:

1. Intersection Changes

● The major lane shift will run northeast of the existing intersection. Eastbound and

westbound traffic on 23 Avenue will be shifted slightly north.

● To accommodate LRT underpass construction, traffic on 111 Street will be shifted to

the east, ensuring a continuous flow and preventing full closures.

● Throughout the two-year major lane shift, traffic on 111 Street will be shifted to

either side of the work area. Construction Notices will be issued prior to any

traffic-flow changes.

● Two lanes of traffic, and single turn lanes will be maintained in all directions.

2. Roadway Adjustments

● For safety, the speed limit on 111 Street between Century Park Station and

Saddleback Road/19 Avenue will be reduced to 40 km/h.

● Similarly, the speed limit on 23 Avenue approaching 111 Street will be reduced to 40km/h.

● The right-most southbound lane on 111 Street will be closed at Century Park Station, but left-turn lanes will be open for access to nearby amenities like the Heritage Village Shopping Centre and the William Lutsky YMCA.

3. Bus Stop Changes and Closures

● Two bus stops will be closed to accommodate the change:

o Eastbound 23 Avenue just past 111 Street (ID 4467)

o Southbound 111 Street just past 23 Avenue (ID 4456)

● Two bus turnouts will be created at existing stops to improve traffic flow:

o Westbound 23 Avenue just past 111 Street (ID 4224)

o Southbound 111 Street just before Saddleback Road (ID 4017)

● All other bus stops near the intersection will be maintained.

4. Pedestrian Detours and Closures

● The sidewalk on the west side of 111 Street between 23 Avenue and Saddleback

Road will be closed. Pedestrians will be redirected along paths connecting to the

Skyrattler neighbourhood.

● To ensure accessibility, hard-surfaced paths and ramps will be installed around 23

Avenue and 111 Street.
