Pedestrian, traffic signal installations underway throughout Grande Prairie

Oct 28, 2021 | 11:03 AM

The City of Grande Prairie is busy installing pedestrian crossing flashers and replacing traffic signals at various locations around the city over the coming weeks.

The city says two overhead pedestrian flashers, which display an amber light signaling a pedestrian’s intent to cross the street, are being added at 88 Avenue and Resources Road over the coming days, as well as 104 Avenue and 102 Street, across from St. Joseph Catholic Church.

Temporary lane closures and reduced speeds are anticipated while those signals are being installed.

Rapid flashing beacons

Additionally, 13 rapid flashing beacons (similar to the crosswalk at 98 Street and 103 Avenue by the library) will be installed over the coming weeks around the city. Those areas include:

Traffic signal replacement

The city adds that starting on November 1, traffic signals at two intersections will be replaced.

That includes the lights at 108 Street and 116 Avenue, as well as the lights at 110 Street and 100 Avenue.

Both locations will see lane reductions during construction, but traffic movement will be maintained.

Construction on these locations is anticipated to take approximately two months.
