McIntyre Traffic Calming

FY 2024-25 · 2024-06-17

Summary
"McIntyre Drive Traffic Calming Project will transform the neighbourhood corridor into a safe, multi-modal transportation showpiece, complementing the evolution of the adjacent Kwanlin Dün First Nation (KDFN) land uses. The road corridor is owned and operated by the City of Whitehorse, and is located fully within KDFN settlement land. The key components of the draft design include enlarged curb extensions at select intersections to narrow the driving right of way and reduce pedestrian crossing distances, curb extensions to provide transit stop facilities and improve transit accessibility, new zebra pavement markings at key crossing locations, 1.2 km of new protected cycle lanes (1.2 km on each side of the roadway) with marked cross-rides at intersections and accesses, installation of 50 concrete wheelchair and bike ramps, and 1.2 km of new sidewalk with barrier curb to increase pedestrian connectivity and safety. A lighting evaluation and design will improve illumination within the corridor."

Description (French)
"Le projet de modération de la circulation sur le chemin McIntyre transformera le corridor du quartier en un chef-d’œuvre de transport sûr et multimodal, complétant l’évolution de l’utilisation des terres adjacentes de la Première Nation des Kwanlin Dün. Le corridor routier appartient à la ville de Whitehorse, qui en assure l’entretien, et est complètement situé sur la terre octroyée par l’entente avec la Première Nation des Kwanlin Dün. Les éléments principaux de la conception provisoire comprennent l’élargissement des avancées de trottoir à certains carrefours pour réduire la largeur de l’emprise routière et les distances à traverser par les piétons, l’ajout d’avancées de trottoir pour fournir des installations d’arrêt de transport en commun et améliorer l’accessibilité à ce dernier, ajout de marquages sur la chaussée aux principaux points de traverse, aménagement de nouvelles bandes cyclables protégées sur 1,2 km de chaque côté de la chaussée avec marquage aux croisements, c’est-à-dire aux carrefours et aux accès, installation de 50 rampes d’accès en béton pour fauteuils roulants et bicyclettes et aménagement d’un nouveau trottoir de 1,2 km avec bordure pour améliorer la mobilité et la sécurité des piétons. Une évaluation et une conception de l’éclairage permettront d’améliorer la luminosité dans le corridor."
