City of Edmonton said Saturday that it was planning to bring back temporary shared streets in spring 2021 to support physical distancing for pedestrians amid COVID-19.The city said a “set of locations similar to 2020” will be implemented in the spring.
Last year, some of the locations included Jasper Avenue, Fort Saskatchewan Drive, 103 Avenue and 125 Street.The lane closures and shared streets were set up particularly in high-density neighbourhoods as a way for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists to share the roads and safely spread out as more people got outside over the spring and summer months.“Based on observed activities from last year, the list of locations will include a core set of routes brought back from 2020 with some routes.
