You will notice some changes along University Avenue in Saint John as part of an active transportation project.
The four-lane street has been reduced to two vehicle lanes — one in each direction — to allow for buffered and protected bike lanes.
In addition, the speed limit along the Millidgeville street has been reduced to 50 km/h from 60 km/h.
A no-stopping zone has also been implemented eastbound between Millidge Avenue and the start of the left-turn lane to Tim Hortons.
“With University Avenue reducing to a single through lane in each direction, it would be important to reduce risk of vehicles queuing into this now single through lane from the Tim Hortons drive-thru,” said a recent staff report to council.
Bollards for the protected bike lanes will be installed once they are delivered, according to city staff.
