    Are you taking down the big trees along 50th Street to widen the road?

    Rinda asked about 2 months ago

    Hi Rinda, 

    Thanks for your question. You did not specify which trees you are talking about. We are guessing you mean the spruce trees along the cemetery.  

    Trees on 50 Street between Pelican Place and Perry Drive 

    • We feel we should be able to save those trees. However, we have not started designing this project yet 

    • It will depend on how wide the road must be, which will not be decided until the detailed design phase. That phase is not active and has no estimated start date. 

    Trees on 50 Street between Memorial Trail and Highway 11 

    • Unfortunately, in this section there will be some tree removal. This is because of the proposed footprint and grading requirements of the roundabout.  

    • Tree removal is anticipated in the southwest and southeast of the roundabout. 

     

    Planning  

    The Town of Sylvan Lake plans long in advance for major construction projects on our roadways. These plans include:  

    • Evaluates the road network, now and in the future 

    • Provides a framework for Council and Administration to assess the capability of our roads to accommodate new development in the short- and long-term 

    • Recommendations for the future needs of the Memorial Trail corridor

    • Memorial Trail Biophysical Impact Assessment  

    • Studying how the construction impacts the natural area around the roadway 

    • This study will be completed as part of the design phase, which has not started yet 


    Get your thoughts presented to Council 

    If you haven’t already, complete the 50 Street and Memorial Trail Roundabout Survey. That's the best way to make sure your feedback is included when the survey results are presented to Council. If you have another question, ask here. 

    Sincerely, 
    David Yee

    Will the redevelopment include a bike lane for bike/scooter use?

    Hi Byronrogy, 

    Thanks for your question. This redevelopment doesn’t include a bike lane as a portion of the roadway. In stage 1 of the 50 Street and Memorial Trail Roundabout project, a new multi-use pathway along the west side 50 Street (between Beacon Hill Drive and Memorial Trail) is an option and is not funded at this time. Completing the pathway depends on the available budget and may be implemented as a separate project in future.

    Make sure to complete the survey if you haven't already. That's the best way to make sure your feedback is included when the survey results are presented to Council. Visit the 50 Street and Memorial Trail Roundabout page to take the survey.  

    Sincerely,  
    David Yee
