UPDATE: Following the traffic report that was provided to Council, the City of Chestermere has made the determination to cancel the installation of the 4-Way Stop on Marina Drive for the time being while enhancing safety for vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Further information will be provided upon the completion of a formal review.
Traffic Safety Enhancements
Following the City’s decision to cancel the installation of a four-way stop pending an area traffic study, we have implemented specific measure to enhance the safety of the intersection at West Chestermere Drive and Marina Drive:
- Flashing pedestrian lights have been extended to 30 seconds and coordinated to activate with the crossing lights at Marina Drive and Windermere Drive. This provides greater notice to drivers that the cross walk is in use.
- The “No Parking” zone along Marina Drive from the intersection in both directions on both sides of the street will be extended to provide cleared sight lines to the cross walk.
- Additional enforcement and oversight will be provided by our Community Peace Officers, who will focus on this area over the next few weeks to enforce traffic and speed laws.
