Site preparation work has begun for the construction of a new traffic circle on Fern Crescent Road and 236 Street.
 
This work is part of road safety improvements to enhance active transportation routes and will include an upgraded intersection to accommodate existing and future needs of this growing area of the community.
 
The City held a virtual open house for at the end of June 2022, where the project plan was presented to the community for feedback. Project timing and traffic impacts were the main concern from area residents at those sessions. Project planners noted that construction was scheduled during winter months to reduce impacts on traffic and wildlife in the construction zone.
 
The project will include:

• Three-metre-wide multi-use pathway on the south side of 132 Avenue/Fern Crescent
• Paved pathway linking Balsam Street to 132 Avenue and 236 Street to Fern Crescent
• Street/pathway lighting
• Improved bus stop on Fern Crescent

• Alternative travel options for cyclists and pedestrians
• Upgrades to improve fish and riparian habitats along 236 Street as well as manage stormwater
• Easier and safer access to parks, schools, recreation, transit and other amenities
