The challenge is all the existing access points for 102ave. Hard to retroactively do those things.

One alternative would be to essentially modal filter/block the north side of 102ave so there’s way less points of conflict. Sort of like 100ave from 163-149st.

Keep a few that connect through. But most could close.

funny for you to say this would be a hard challenge to make happen while also providing an example of a design change that would make it pretty easy ;) modal filters on all streets abutting to 102ave except for main roads (109st, 97st?) shouldn't be a radical idea in the downtown of a city of 1.25M. It would also do a lot of good for bike/active transport reception from the general public if we had segments that are fully built out so people can see/experience the benefits of proper infrastructure. Imagine if Edmonton finally got one(!!!!) road that was centered around usability for non-car traffic. Basically the opposite side of the painted bike gutters argument

Haha. That’s what I mean though. A full 102ave closure causes challenges as there are numerous buildings and parking entrances onto 102 that couldn’t be fully shut off.

But a major modal filter approach would likely get you 80% of the traffic reduction. But keep accessibly the parking and other entrances needed.

I only think this works in 109-124st section though. In 97-109 I think it’ll just cause a lot more people turning onto 102 who were simply trying to cross it.
