Time-Line of Traffic Problems

From Heather…

Island Park Drive and surrounding communities have for many years been expected to accommodate large volumes of commuter traffic, which pollutes our neighbourhoods and endangers our kids. The RCMP cannot keep up with the volume of cut-through traffic making illegal turns onto IPD. Vehicles are backed up to the Scott/Northwestern intersection. From Clearview, some turn and speed south looking for other exits to IPD.

In 1996 and again in 2014, local governments and communities suggested solutions. Several were implemented, but nothing was done to fix the main problem, that two parkways are being used as commuter routes.

In September 2024, the NCC invited local communities to discuss proposed new parkways guidelines.

The CPCA submitted the attached comments to the NCC, c.c. councillor Jeff Leiper.
