106st-107st streetscaping

[David A]

On 107 ave between 124 st to 109 st they have added eight new traffic lights since 2015.

Some were definitely needed but hard to argue the rest weren't a bit excessive.... anyway back to 106/107 st streetscaping

One that irks me a lot is 83 Ave and 109 Street, which is one block away from a major intersection with lights. It often seems to turn red just as the light on 82 Ave turns green, so you can only go one block north before being stopped.

It would have been better to put the light at least two blocks away or more or have some coordination of these lights. I do think more people are ignoring red lights and having them in too many places does not help.

^thats the 83 Ave bike lane. I like it. What I hate more is vehicles going north on 109 St blocking 82nd Ave so they can be 15 seconds ahead. Wish a traffic cop would be there between 7 and 9. Would pay there wage for a week every day with blocking intersection infractions.

We need so many traffic lights because the damned City won't narrow roads. It's one or the other.

I don't go there between 7 and 9, but not surprised that it becomes a mess at such busy time for exactly the reason I mentioned. I don't have a problem with the bike lane, but at least have these two lights well coordinated.

Just need the bike lane paint and street lights installed and this will be a lovely eastern border of Odaymin Park till construction on the roadway can finish next year

That is looking nice. I wonder if they will eventually be planting something in the median between the bike lane section and the main road?

previous photos showed soil cells being put in these spots which also matches the renders of trees in this section. Plant in spring of 2026?

Are they still planning on extending the 106 rehab all the way to Jasper Ave? I was a bit surprised that they stopped at the alley, instead of going all the way to Jasper.

The areas from Jasper to the laneway and centreline east will be completed in 2026.
(along with landscaping).

4 rows of trees….2 on each side of the road…..it’ll look great
