WARD SUTHERLAND

Remembrance Day is the day in which we hon-our those men and women who have served and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict and peace. Due to the selfless sacrifices of Canadian soliders, notably those who served in the First and Second World Wars as well as the subse-quent conflicts, many younger and new Canadians have never experienced war. Remembrance Day is the time to remember those people who have served our country so that we are safe from war.

On November 11th, come and join me in at the annual The Royal Canadian Legion, Bowness Branch 238 Remembrance Day Ceremonies. This year, the Legion is holding the ceremonies at TB Riley School due to unfinished renovations at the Bowness Sportsplex.

This year, Roads has set out a number of online tools that serve to better inform residents about snow route parking bans, snow event updates, traffic report, and the road conditions map.

ONLINE TOOLS

Click on Calgary Traffic Report for road construction, road closures and incidents that may affect your com-mute trip.

View the Road Conditions Map to view the Priority 1 & 2 Countdown clock. The Priority 1 & 2 Countdown clock starts when the snow stops falling. According to the Snow and Ice Control Policy, crews must complete Priority 1 and 2 routes within 48 hours after the snow stops falling. If it starts snowing again before crews complete Priority 1 and 2 routes, the clock will be stopped while crews maintain Priority 1 routes during the snowfall. It will be reset once the snow stops and crews are able to refocus on working through the Snow Event 7 day plan.

The City of Calgary has a Snow and Ice Clearing Update page. This page will be updated during all winter snow storms, and throughout the week fol-lowing a snow event, in order to give Calgarians frequent updates on road conditions.

To report snow and ice issues on Calgary roads, overpasses and bridges, click onto the online Snow and Ice Control Service Request.

Sign up for the Calgary Roads app, which is de-signed to help you plan your commute during the winter storms. The Roads Mobile App is available for iPhone, Blackberry and Android apps.

For the most up-to-date information, follow the Transportation Department, on Twitter @yyctrans-port, or visit calgary.ca/roadconditions.

BE A SNOW ANGEL

According to City Bylaws, property owners are responsible for removing ice and snow from city sidewalks adjacent to their property within 24 hours after the snow has stopped falling.

Be a Snow Angel and help ensure everyone can safely get out and enjoy winter. To be a Snow Angel all you have to do is adopt a sidewalk and keep it clear when it snows. Watch for people in your neighbourhood who could use help removing snow and lend them a hand.

NOMINATE YOUR SNOW ANGEL

You can recognize your Snow Angel by calling 311, or by filling out a Snow Angel 311 online service request form or by sending a letter telling us your Snow Angel story. You and the Snow Angel you choose to recognize will each be entered into a draw for a prize.PRioRiTy 1 & 2 counTDown clock

WARD 1 TRAFFIC AND SAFETY MEETING

Page 7

SAVE THE DATE!

Traffic Safety Ward 1 Meeting

Silver Springs Community Association

5720 Silver Ridge Drive NW

Thursday, November 17, 2016

6:30pm-9:00pm

Together with The City of Calgary and the Calgary Police Service (CPS), Councillor Sutherland will be hosting a community traffic safety meeting on Thursday, November 17th at the Silver Springs Community Association from 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. This meeting is open to all residents of Ward 1.

Traffic Safety is of paramount concern to citizens, consistently appearing as a top concern in citizen satisfaction surveys. Traffic safety is also a priori-ty of the Calgary Police Service, who utilize both education and enforcement to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians.

This meeting will give citizens a place to voice their concerns as well as learn how to keep Cal-gary’s roads safe for all users. The goal of this meeting is to create a forum to discuss and raise awareness of traffic safety and to take some specif-ic actions, based on citizen concerns on a specific topic. Actual steps that The City, CPS and citizens can do to improve safety will be discussed. Par-ticipants will then be asked to provide feedback about where they believe additional CPS enforce-ment would be beneficial in their ward.

Based on feedback, CPS will conduct additional enforcement in each ward and report-back their findings. The City’s Transportation Department will then research and recommend definitive engi-neering measures that could be applied where issues exist.

A follow-up meeting will take in early 2017 and will be organized by Councillor Sutherland’s Office. To receive more information about the Traffic Safety Meetings, visit www.calgary.ca/ward1con-nect or sign-up at www.WardSutherland.com If you have any questions, contact Christine Louie at ward01@calgary.ca or (403) 268-3258.

Dear Ward 1.

I am curious as to what the land area between Bear-spaw Dam Road and Nose Hill Drive NW (south of Home Depot and east of Soccer Dome) is . There seems to be lots of earth moving and equipment on the land. I tried calling 311, but they didn`t know the answer.

Curious in Tuscany.

Hi CIT. The land area between Bearspaw Dam Rd and Nose Hill Dr is a storage and staging facility for Water Services. There is no development occurring. There is nothing being built. Water Services Department may utilize this land for future expansion of the exist-ing Bearspaw Water Treatment Plant. Read the latest update from Councillor Sutherland’s previous e- news-letter, click here for the link.

Dear Ward 1. I am writing to express my concern about speeding in our neighborhood. I appreciate a speed monitoring sign that was placed near us for a time this summer. Are lawn signs that say, “Please slow down available for individual residents” available? I see that the City of Toronto made those available in 2015 to residents who wanted to post them. Perhaps this is worth considering?

Safety in Silver Springs.

Q&A- WARD 1 OFFICEDear SISS. Looking at a map of your neighbour-hood, it would appear any speeding would be from local residents and visitors, rather than cut-through traffic. Unfortunately there are no City lawn signs asking people to slow down, nor any such program. You may look at making your own sign for placement on your own property, or canvassing your neighbours and having some discussions about safety in your cul de sac. You could also call 311 or the CPS non-emergency number if you determine that it is repeat offend-ers within your area.

Dear Ward 1. I am concerned about vehicles speeding along Valiant Drive NW, particularly west of the Varsity Acres School. Currently the existing speed bumps only slow the motorists at the bumps and then they race to the next one. Can portable solar powered radar speed indica-tors be implemented along this stretch of the roadway? I would suggest the placement of the radar screen should be located in one direction for a while then placed in the opposite direction for a period of time.

Safety First, Varsity

Dear SFV. Councillor Sutherland is always con-cerned about pedestrian safety and speeding, and especially when it occurs near schools or community centres. Your request for a SLOWS trailer can be initiated through the online re-quest on The City’s website.

If Roads deems placement to be warranted, they will fit in into their SLOWS trailer rotation. In the interim, our office encourages you to report speeders to 311 so that they can build up a doc-umented file on specific locations.

Q&A- WARD 1 OFFICE

Dear Ward 1.

I am frustrated with this ticketing of cars angle parked in cul de sacs. Our area has no front garages, some have no garage and the frontage of the houses is very small. I can’t believe such an antiquated by-law is being enforced without a review. It is causing frustration and animos-ity between neighbors as it will greatly reduce parking space in the area. I tried talking with 311 with no success, they hadn’t heard of the is-sue. I understand it is being reviewed but there needs to be a solution NOW, not months or years from now. I would appreciate your feed-back on what is going on with this. This affects families, friends and businesses who have work to do in the area as well. The angle parking is efficient in space usage and is not unsafe.

Thank you,

Frustrated in a Cul de Sac.

Dear FCDS. I think the best place to begin dis-cussions about angle parking is with the Calgary Parking Authority (CPA)– https://www.calgary-parking.com/

The basic information that I can provide is that to be considered for parallel parking, a minimum radius of 15m is required, anything less than a 15m radius, the City Traffic Department examines parking removal. This takes into account the length or width of parking stall and the room required for the easy of manoeu-vrability of both emergency and garbage removal vehicles.

It also seems that the CPA does not routinely search out such situations – it appears to be more where someone in the neighbourhood has complained and CPA has responded.

Dear Ward 1.

I want to put up a “Little Free Library on my private property. How do I do this?

Bookish in Scenic Acres

Dear BWSA,

To install a a ‘‘Little Free Library’’ on private property , such as your home property, church, business the only steps you’d have to take are:

• Consult the landowner to gain approval – so devel-oper, church staff, business owner

• Call before you dig – Alberta 1 call to know where utility lines are and 311 for irrigation lines

• Ensure that the location of the ‘‘Little Free Library’’ is not impeding any sidewalk or pathway

Once a ‘‘Little Free Library’’ is successfully installed:

• Both the structure and the books are supplied by the individual or group

• The individual or group are responsible for instal-lation, regardless of its location (private, CA or Parks land)

• See the following link for an example of installation instructions available on-line.

BOWNESS

BOWNESS ROAD N.W. COMPLETE STREET

GIVE FEEDBACK ONLINE

The Bowness Road N.W. Complete Street options evaluation feed-back form is now online. Please provide your feedback here on intersection design options, proposed parking changes, pedestrian, pathway and streetscape improvements and bicycle facilities. The deadline to provide input online is November 7, 2016.

BOWNESS ROAD N.W.

Bowness Road N.W., between 70 Street N.W. and Shouldice Bridge, is scheduled for re-paving in 2017. This work presents an opportuni-ty to cost-effectively improve the current road design so it functions better for all road users. Street improvements can enhance vibrancy along the main street and improve the pedestrian and cycling envi-ronment, as well as reduce speeding and shortcutting.

The project goals are to:

• Improve safety and mobility for all road users on Bowness Road N.W.

• Complete a gap in the bicycle network between 70 Street N.W. and the Bow River pathway.

• Work alongside the Bowness Road Main Streets Initiative to identi-fy streetscape enhancements.

BOWWOOD DRIVE & 33 AVENUE N.W.

The work on Bowness Road N.W. also provides an opportunity to save costs on adjacent improvements that would resolve commu-nity concerns. The intersections of Bowwood Drive / 36 Avenue / 64 Street N.W. and Bowwood Drive / 33 Avenue N.W have been identi-fied to be reconfigured to improve safety at these locations. Speed humps are also planned on 33 Avenue N.W. near River Valley School to reduce speeding in the playground zone.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS PROJECT?

• Take advantage of the planned road resurfacing

• Align with Council policies (Com-plete Streets, Cycling Strategy and Bikeways and Pathways Implementa-tion Plan)

• Improve safety and mobility for ev-eryone on Bowness Road N.W.

• Complete a gap in the bicycle net-work between the Bow River Pathway at Shouldice Bridge and the Bowness Road Complete Street Phase 1 project

• Identify opportunities to improve cycling connections to key destina-tions

• Formalize and improve safety on this desired route that people are already using a 24-hour bicycle count in 2015 showed

• 138 bikes at 77 Street N.W. and Bow-ness Road N.W., compared to 69 bikes prior to the installation of the phase 1 bike lanes in 2014

• 251 bikes at 65 Street N.W. and Bow-ness Road N.W.

BOWNESS Traffic Annoucement: 85 St & 48 Ave NWCouncillor Ward Sutherland

During the summer of 2015, the Ward 1 office began receiving in-creasing complaints about south-bound traffic congestion at the intersection of 85th Street & 48th Avenue NW during the morning peak traffic period. The backlogs

to this 3-way stop were partially attributable to traffic that would normally use the Stoney Trail & TransCanada Highway route to the inner city find-ing out that the construction of the Bowfort Road/TransCanada highway interchange was slowing their commute down, and opting to finding alter-nate routes that did not take as long. One of the alternate routes was through Bowness. Councillor Sutherland relayed these concerns to The City of Calgary, Roads Traffic Division, and in response they conducted an extensive safety and operational review for that intersection. They found the follow-ing:

• A three-way stop control warrant review was completed, and based on traffic counts from April 23, 2014, it was determined that a three-way stop control was not warranted at the intersection

• A review of collision history revealed that 9 colli-sions were reported near the intersection of 85th & 48th in the past 9 years and that there were no fatalities or injury collisions. All 9 were property damage only and no pedestrians or bicycles were involved in the collisions.

Based on results from the review, it was determined that a 3-way stop control was not warranted due to the relatively low traffic volume on 48th Ave-nue. In an effort to enhance traffic operations and minimize traffic congestion on 85th Street at 48th Avenue, the Traffic Division recommended the fol-lowing intersection improvements:

• Remove the 3-way stop control from the inter-section. 85th Street traffic would be free-flow, and 48th Avenue would be stop-controlled

• Install a pedestrian crosswalk on the north side of the intersection, crossing 85th Street

• Install “Ladder” pedestrian crosswalk road mark-ings, and Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFB’s) at the crosswalk to enhance pedestrian safety crossing 85th Street.

Councillor Sutherland has been continuing to follow up with the Roads Traffic Division ever since the stop signs were removed. Throughout this challenging time he has been sensitive to the com-plaints and concerns of the citizens most affected by the removal, especially those residing on, or ad-jacent to 48th Avenue. The re-opening of Bowness Park, while a positive event for Bowness, has unfor-tunately added to the local traffic situation, espe-cially on the weekends during the summer. With the long-anticipated opening of the splash park next spring, it is projected that the amount of traffic will become even more challenging for residencitts, and vehicles coming and going to the Park will face even more frustration. Please know that Council-lor Sutherland is working on the parking/traffic situation within and outside the Park as a “sep-arate but connected” issue, through a joint task force between the City Parks and Roads Depart-ments. Watch for a localized public engagement notice to residents in the affected area later this year.

After a second review of traffic data, it was deter-mined the intersection does not require a 3 way stop; however, it continues to fail during busy weekends. After much deliberation and review of alternatives, the Roads Division believe they have found a viable solution which will meet all the stakeholders’ requirements Continue reading on p.13

CHRISTMAS IN WARD 1Traffice Announcement: 85 ST & 48 Ave NW, continued from p.12

and expectations. Council-lor Sutherland was able to source the funding for a new traffic signal (also known as traffic light or signal light) which will be installed at the intersection of 48th & 85th in Spring 2017. In order to best serve the needs of through traffic and still protect the needs of the local residents, the traffic signal will be what is called an actu-ated traffic signal. Through the use of pedestrian push buttons and vehicle detec-tion cables embedded in the road surface, the signal will be able to respond to actual vehicle and pedestrian de-mands. For example, at times when there are no vehicles on 48 Avenue at the intersec-tion or no pedestrians wish-ing to cross 85 Street, the signal will remain green for 85 Street to reduce delay for vehicles, cyclists and pedes-trians travelling along that roadway. This way, exiting vehicles on 48th will only have to wait for the sensor to detect them before the lights will automatically be programmed to change. When there is no traffic leaving, the through traffic on 85th will have a con-stant green, and will be able to flow through with-out any backlogs forming.
