Motorists frustrated by the slower pace of traffic on Lansdowne Street following the city’s First Avenue/Victoria Street/Lansdowne Street intersection reconfiguration may be in for some relief.
Director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski told council this week his department is monitoring traffic flows on the street and expects to make some tweaks to the timing of traffic lights.
Kwiatkowski said the city knew there would be “some levels of service decreased” because the newly configured intersection added another light to the many traffic controls already in place on Lansdowne.
“We went in knowing we’d probably have to monitor and then make tweaks,” he said.
“So, their point is well-taken.”
Although the traffic lights are synced, Kwiatkowski said pedestrians can throw off the timing for three full cycles.
