Public engagement for this project is now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated in the engagement activities.

An on-site meeting was held in September 2022 with the residents of Duncan Crescent to discuss concerns regarding the access to Duncan Crescent from McKercher Drive.

A draft Traffic Plan that proposed changes along McKercher Drive was developed and presented at a public meeting in March 2023. You can review the presentation material here: McKercher Drive - Duncan Crescent Access public meeting boards . We have reviewed the feedback from the online survey and open house event and revised the traffic plan based on the feedback received. 

To learn more about the feedback received, read the What We Learned Engagement Summary here. 

Next Steps

✓ SUMMER 2024: Present the recommendations to City Council and request funding (if needed) through a future multi-year budget cycle.

✓ SUMMER 2024: Pending approval, implementation of the signage recommendations could begin as early as Spring 2024. Implementation of traffic signals, pedestrian ramps, and median opening will be scheduled pending future multi-year budget deliberations.

Traffic Plan

We have revised the traffic plan based on the feedback received.

Based on community support received, the traffic plan includes a full median opening for Duncan Crescent (South). Here is the figure of the full median opening. A median opening requires a Public Hearing and City Council approval. The proposed traffic plan will be presented at a Public Hearing in Summer 2024.
