Duke to Sackville Lane Reconfiguration

The closure of Brunswick Street to Bridge traffic will have impacts on traffic levels along the entire length of the street. A considerable volume of bridge traffic previously using Brunswick Street will be diverted to Barrington Street and other main arteries serving the downtown corridor. The current laneway system along Brunswick Street is designed to accommodate existing traffic demand that includes bridge traffic. It is possible to examine potential changes that will not inconvenience motorists or existing land users. At the same time, the same changes may be advantageous to cyclists who will use the proposed route.

The Sackville to Prince segment of the roadway is approximately 15.5 meters wide, with a centerline at approximately 7.25 meters from each curb. There are two traffic lanes, in each direction. The inside lanes are both approximately 2.7 meters wide and the outside lanes are approximately 5.0 meters wide to accommodate parking on the west side, and loading zones and a 5-car cab stand on the east side.

• Sackville to Prince realignment

From Prince to George Street, the roadway is approximately 16 meters wide with the centre line at approximately 7.25 meters from the western curb, providing an 8.75 meter width for northbound lanes. The outside northbound lane allows parking, and provides space for a bus stop and loading zones, while the southbound outside lane has metered parking space.

• Prince to George realignment

From George to the intersection of Duke and Rainnie Drive, the roadway and traffic lane are the same width as on the Sackville to Prince segment.
