Roundabout favoured as plans presented for Scenic Drive North
LETHBRIDGE – The tide may be turning in public sentiment regarding roundabouts in Lethbridge.
The city will present its preliminary design for Scenic Drive North at an open house Wednesday, May 24. The arterial road will eventually connect the current Scenic Drive with the future North-South Trade Corridor highway east of the city. It will at least partly replace the existing 13th Street past Hardieville.
“It’ll follow Legacy, then it curves over… kind of past Hardieville,” explained project manager Robert Kovacs. “Then it kind of hooks up with 62nd Avenue, which is the county road but it’ll eventually be ours. And that’ll ring right to 43rd.”
The plans that will be displayed deal with the stretch running from the 26th Avenue intersection to the entrance of Pavan Park.
