LETHBRIDGE – Council agreed on Monday to move ahead with paving and re-opening the remainder of 43 Street South.
The paving stretches from just south Southgate Boulevard, up to just south of Fairmont Gate. (Pictured above, outlined in red)
The project was recently made allowable by the new Southeast Area Structure Plan (SEASP), which was adopted by council on May 16. The SEASP allows for more connectivity with Southgate and Fairmont to the Southeast Area with a grid based roadway system, instead of curvilinear.
Council hopes opening the Southgate Boulevard access to 43 Street will alleviate some traffic flow concerns for residents in the area. The roadway had been closed for three years prior to this decision to manage traffic flow, movement patterns and community expectations while developing the Southgate neighbourhood.
