76Ave is a neighbourhood road that is not classified as a major or collector road in new city plans.
If vehicle access across the ravine along 76Ave was closed, people in King Edward and Avonmore communites would notice less traffic in their neighbourhoods. Most people using 76Ave from 75st are going to these 2 communities and nothing would change in that regard.
And people in Ritchie would also have less vehicle traffic. Most people using 76Ave from 99st are going to Ritchie and Hazeldean and nothing would change for them in that regard.
Mill Creek Ravine is one of the city's most important and valuable green spaces and this could enhance/protect it even more.
I love how a city can transform a massive multi-lane roadway back to a green space like the pics below and vehicle traffic survived!
I would put my money on the proposal to eliminate vehicle access across the ravine to not go ahead, but I do not believe it would be a traffic problem if it did - it's definitely not one that my friend who owns/lives in a home along 76Ave is concerned about.
