Active Commuting updatesConstruction updatesRoad closures Update on 50 Street improvements Posted September 9, 10 am Work on the 50 Street project is nearing completion. Asphalt paving, line markings, and ditch grading are finished, and all road and trail closures have been lifted. The final step is the installation of a half-signal pedestrian crossing near the RV parking lot. Installation is anticipated toward the beginning of October. No full road closures are expected, although short lane or trail closures may occur near the park area during this work. Another update will be provided once installation dates are confirmed. 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.
