50 Avenue Construction Update – Back To School
We would like to update the public regarding the construction on 50 Avenue as it has impacts on the back to school returns, primarily near 43 Street.
Crews have taken up part of the roadway that extends into the 50 Ave/43 Street intersection which impacts the southbound 43 Street traffic lane. Due to this impact, the southbound left turning lane, will also be used for southbound traffic (as shown in the attached map). The northbound 43 Street left turning lane to 50 Avenue is closed and southbound traffic may use this turning lane to safely navigate the southbound lane closure. This will remain in place until further notice, along with the traffic lights blinking red resulting in the intersection needing to be treated as a 3-way stop.
If pedestrians are using the 3-way intersection, they have the right-of-way over motorists and this area should be treated just like any other 3-way intersection.
We understand this impact is not ideal, however, we continue working to complete this important project which is still anticipated to be completed October, 31 2024, weather permitting.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and understanding.

Turn the lights back on for school hours. Make it safe for kids crossing the street.
