Mobility lanes are returning to Edmonton as part of the Summer Streets Program to make streets safer and more livable for everyone. The Summer Streets Program supports active modes of travel so everyone can discover Edmonton and enjoy the summer outdoors.
Along Summer Streets, a vehicle lane is converted for people to use for physical activity. Temporary flex posts will separate mobility lanes from vehicle traffic so people can bike, scoot, and roll comfortably in a separated lane. The speed limit on the adjacent roadway is reduced to 40 km/h where the lane is not separated by a median.
Summer Street Locations:
These locations will begin to be converted to Summer Streets starting the week of April 25.
Use the Discover YEG Map to explore bike routes, Summer Street locations and more.
Summer Streets are placed where they could most benefit Edmontonians:
Temporary flex posts are placed along Summer Streets to separate vehicle traffic from people biking, scooting, or using other active modes. This is an improvement over the orange traffic cones that were used last year, which were easily displaced.
The speed limit is also reduced to 40 km/h along corridors that do not have a median separating it from the vehicle lane.
Shared Streets and Mobility Lanes were first introduced to Edmonton in spring 2020 to support safe, outdoor activity, and to address the demand for physical distancing within densely populated neighbourhoods.
A shared street is when a road is opened up to provide room for all modes, including biking, walking, and other active modes. To ensure everyone’s safety, vehicles are restricted to local traffic and the speed limit is reduced to 20 km/hr.
This year, communities interested in bringing a shared street to their community can do so as part of a Vision Zero Street Lab.
Victoria Park Road, Saskatchewan Drive (109 Street to west of 104 Street), and 104 Street (Saskatchewan Drive to 78 Avenue) will be converted to Summer Streets. These locations can also be found on Discover YEG Map.
To reduce the impact of the Summer Street Program on people taking transit, the 104 Street location is being shortened from University Avenue to 78 Avenue. Wayfinding will be provided at the 78 Avenue pedestrian signal to connect to the 106 Street and 76 Avenue protected bike lanes.
