Overview
The City of Whitehorse is developing a temporary median and traffic circle along Thompson Road in Granger neighbourhood. The temporary median and traffic circle is being developed using temporary traffic calming curbs which are a low cost solution to experiment with different traffic solutions. The temporary median and traffic circle are intended to improve road safety for all users, particularly reducing road safety risks associated with illegal southbound U-turning vehicles at Hamilton Boulevard and Thompson Road.
The proposed changes include but are not limited to:
- Road safety for all road users including pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, drivers, goods movement, and emergency response.
The proposed works include but are not limited to:
- Pavement markings
- Signage
- Traffic calming curbs
