Thank you, Madam Chair. We are working and talking to the city about that stretch of road, and the long-term goal would be to turn it over to the city because it’s becoming more of a municipal road than it is a highway as development occurs around it. We have undertaken quite a few improvements to that stretch of road to recognize the fact that there are pedestrians on there. Lights have been installed. Speed limits have been reduced. There are extra wide shoulders on that stretch of road.
Ideally, we would come up with a solution for improving pedestrian access so that pedestrians could get right off of the highway itself. It would be
our goal to get the pedestrians off the highway itself, so we are talking to the city about potentially doing that.
One of the hesitations on behalf of the city is just the long-term rehabilitation, reconstruction that would be required for that highway. We have recently installed a test section on that road to see if this new technology will help stabilize it and take care of some of the longer term reconstruction that might be required on some of the settlement areas. That effort is still ongoing. Thank you, Madam Chair.
