Luckakuck Way - Traffic Signal and Safety Improvements Project

Luckakuck Way from east of Vedder Road to the Southern Railway bridge (Valley Rail Trail) will see improvements this year.

Background Information

Concerns were received from the public and ICBC regarding unsafe driving behaviours entering and exiting driveway accesses along this corridor, and a traffic safety study was completed recommending improvements. Detailed design and tendering was completed this spring and this project is now ready to move forward with construction.

Project Details

Improvements will include:

• Traffic control signal at the north access to the Superstore property complete with signalized crosswalks and audible pedestrian signals.
• Multi-use pathway (for cyclists and pedestrians) from the new traffic signal to the Valley Rail Trail on the east side of the roadway including pathway lighting.
• Replacing the two way left turn lanes with  designated left turn lanes including concrete medians along the corridor and restricting turning movements at various accesses. These changes will result in some restrictions to business accesses in order to improve the safety.
• Resurfacing of the asphalt roadway and new line markings from approximately east of Vedder Road to the Southern Railway overpass.

Timeline

Council awarded the contract for these works to Breakwater Contracting Ltd. at their regular Council meeting of July 2, 2024.

Construction is scheduled  to start in July/August with estimated completion of late November 2024.
