Jasper Avenue New Vision / Imagine Jasper Avenue

[ChazYEG]

Only took less than 18 days for some drivers to have a mishap (or two) at 110st.

"No Entry? I'll show you an entry!" and "Yield to Bicycles? No! Let's drop that sign on them!"

That's bloody infuriating!!!
I wish left turns were forbidden in most places, at least major roads, with hefty tickets for breaking the law

It's amazing how this addiction, a North American phenomenon, is ingrained in people's minds here

This does make me worry about low-floor 'interactions'.

Remember when they had to rip out all the bollards on 108 St. because people apparently couldn't figure out how to park without hitting them?

The cynic in me wants to say the enhanced visibility and separation of the bike lane (street was always one-way) probably triggered some RAM driving boomer who got lost downtown on the way back to the 'burbs

i[m pretty sure that was a much bigger design error than driver error... (a) you couldn't see those bollards when trying to parallel park in front of them and (b) there are no curbs to keep a car away from those unseen bollards.

Dang, that's unfortunate For the bikers I mean. The person who did that can enjoy their now scratched-up Ford F450 Dual-Wheel drive they tried to left-turn into Oliver.

 

[IanO]

Curious to see how quickly it is fixed.

 

[Greenspace]

^It's under warranty for 1 year, so it will get fixed.

 

[IanO]

Less concerned about the who, more concerned about the when.

I'd be surprised, but ran into a driver on the 102 avenue bike lane who swerved onto the sidewalk to avoid running into me on my bike. Surprised some people will continue givin' 'er despite what their eyes should be telling them...

Signs were repaired today.

Oh and lest we forget, we are a winter city, for at least part of the year. After a few heavy snow falls and they got a bit buried, and I don't think the snow plow drivers were any kinder to them than the parallel parkers.

That road has been one way before this work. So just an idiot driver. The 102 ave bike lane was an issue when it was first installed. I remember sitting in my office at Stantec and watching people turning into it. even though there are numerous signs.

 

[Edmcowboy11]

I say install a permanent spike strip there. One or two incidents there and no one will ever try that again.

 

[Gronk!]

97 St has reopened to traffic. Looks good!
The Chinese gate has not been installed - maybe next year?
I'll snap some pics when I get a chance.
