Cy Becker Neighbourhood Structure Plan - City of Edmonton

Becker NSP are defined in detail by the associated Transportation Impact Assessment.
Collector Roadways
Collector roadways, which provide internal/external accesses, are spaced at appropriate intervals
along the arterial roadways to facilitate traffic progression and to ensure that sufficient distance is
available to allow for right and left turn‐bay development along the arterials. The collector
roadway network provides efficient and convenient access to residential areas and prevents cut‐
through traffic while enhancing the overall safety in the neighbourhood. This serves to further
reinforce a local ‘sense of place’ among residential sub‐areas, reduce traffic volume and speeds,
and establish a pedestrian‐oriented streetscape (i.e. walkable environment).
Two accesses are proposed to 167 Avenue and one to 50 Street NW. The proposed lane
requirements for these roadway facilities as well as the arterial roadway network have been
addressed in detail in the Cy Becker TIA, which was submitted under separate cover. Other access
and roadway requirements will be determined at the rezoning and subdivision stages to the
satisfaction of Transportation Services.
Local Roadways
Local roadways provide access to adjacent land uses and maintain a limited role in the overall
movement of traffic within the Cy BeckerNSP.
Truck Routes
50 Street is currently identified as a 24 hour truck route. Manning Drive is identified as a
dangerous goods truck route and truck route. Anthony Henday Drive is designated as a dangerous
goods truck route and truck route.
Parking
Parking for vehicles will generally be provided off‐street in conjunction with development
applications.
Objective (24). Minimize traffic congestion and enhance safety on internal collector roadways.
NSP Policy Implementation
The number of residential lots fronting onto and having
direct access to a collector road should be in accordance
with the applicable City Policies and/or guidelines.
Traffic calming should be employed to reduce
automobile speeds, increase pedestrian safety and
improve the streetscape.
The Subdivision Authority, in consultation
with Transportation Services shall have
regard for the number of lots having direct
access onto a collector roadway.
The number of lots having direct access
onto a collector roadway shall be
determined at the subdivision stage and
shall not exceed 30%. Lots having direct
access onto collector roadways should not
interfere with transit stops.
Traffic calming measures such as
roundabouts, raised intersections or curb
extensions may be incorporated along
