Improving 50 Street: Road and Crosswalk Work Ahead

Active Commuting updatesConstruction updatesRoad closures

Starting as early as July 14, the City will begin upgrading 50 Street between just north of 44 Avenue and just south of 30 Avenue. Work is expected to continue into mid-August, weather and other factors permitting.

The project includes two key improvements:

  • Rehabilitation work on 50 Street to improve driving conditions and extend the life of the road
  • Building a new crosswalk and trail connection between Juneau Park and the Lions Campground

What to expect

50 Street rehabilitation

This work includes resurfacing 50 Street just north of 44 Avenue and just south of 30 Avenue. (see map). Impacts in this area:

  • Traffic reduced to a single lane in each direction through the construction zone
  • No full road closures are expected, but delays are likely during peak periods
  • Intersections may close temporarily during paving, watch for detours and flaggers
  • Lower speed limits through the work zone for everyone’s safety
  • Possible evening work for activities like line painting

Pedestrian safety enhancements

A new trail connection and signalized crosswalk will be built between Juneau Park and the Lions Campground (see map). Impacts in this area:

  • East-side trail closed for up to three weeks
  • West-side trail closed for up to five days
  • Detours in place for pedestrians and cyclist
  • Access to the park and campground will be maintained, but may be limited at certain connection points

We appreciate your patience as we work to improve safety for both drivers and pedestrians.
