We're bringing traffic calming upgrades to McIntyre Drive to improve road safety!
The City of Whitehorse is working together with the Kwanlin Dün First Nation to bring traffic calming improvements along McIntyre Drive. The purpose of this project is to reduce vehicular speeds and improve safety and comfort for all road users including pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and drivers.
Background
Over the past number of years, residents of the McIntyre subdivision and citizens of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation have raised concerns about road safety and speeding along McIntyre Drive. Community concerns have centered on excessive speeding, poor lighting, unsafe pedestrian crossings, narrow and discontinuous sidewalks, near misses between pedestrians/cyclists and vehicles, and deteriorating infrastructure.
The new corridor upgrade will promote transportation accessibility, connectivity and safety
Corridor upgrades include the following:
Bi-directional bicycle lane
Sidewalks on both sides of McIntyre Drive
New crosswalks and para-ramps
Reduced pedestrian / cycling crossing distances
Pavement markings and signage
New bus pads at all bus stop locations
Traffic calming through the use of:
Chicanes
Curb extensions
Raised pedestrian crossings
Road narrowing
How to get involved:
Ask a question about the project.
Our promise to you:
We will keep you informed, listen to and acknowledge your concerns and preferences, and provide feedback on how public input influenced the decision.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, major city emergencies and proposed emergency repairs, projected future contracting capacity, associated capital funding, and some major construction feasibility concerns of the proposed conceptual design, City Council has determined that it be necessary to delay this project in an effort to ensure City staff and private sector contracting capacity to complete critical infrastructure projects for the City. This is not the timeline we were all anticipating, however, our team is prepared to adjust.
This means we will still be working towards tendering the project in December of 2023 and construction in 2024.
