McIntyre Drive Traffic Calming

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.

We will keep you informed, listen to and acknowledge your concerns and preferences, and provide feedback on how public input influenced the decision.
