City of Lethbridge looks to future in review of traffic around hospital

As a new cardiac centre is set to be built inside the Chinook Regional Hospital, the potential is there for more traffic along 10th Avenue South and neighbouring streets.

With that in mind, City of Lethbridge staff are putting together, what’s being described as a functional planning study. 

The overarching goal of the project will be to create a framework for functional and safe movement of traffic in the area. 

Among the considerations: traffic circles or roundabouts, and curb extensions, which are now being put in place in 11 neighbourhoods in the city.
