COPANS ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
From NW 49 Terrace to NW 42 Ave
Public Concerns and outcome from March meeting:
• Reduced speed and narrow lanes: collaboration with City to keep
existing 45 mph and 11’ lanes
• Increased noise and landscape/berm impacts, difficult to exit
from community: EB lane addition not proposed, noise will not be
increased, minimize landscaping/berm impact
• Westbound merge condition: changed to drop lane condition
• Need right-turn lane into Township Circle: added
• Shift bus stops: coordinated with BC Transit and bus stop at SE
corner has been shifted to the east and bus stop at NW corner has
been shifted to the south

COPANS ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
From NW 49 Terrace to NW 42 Ave
• Main objective: relieve traffic congestion at the intersection, reduce CO2 emissions,
and minimize delays for emergency vehicles responding to the needs of residents in
the area
• Add additional WB through-lane, maximize left-turn storage to reduce congestion
• Collaboration with City: keep 45 mph speed limit and 11’ through-lane widths
• Reduce impact on outside landscaping and berm by minimizing medians
• Few impacted trees will be relocated or replaced with new
• Mill & resurface existing road pavement to extend service life
• New mast arms at Copans Road and Lyons Road Intersection
• Improve drainage system
• ADA improvements
• Install new signing and pavement markings to re-align the lanes
• Incorporate complete streets elements: 10’ shared use path on both sides of the
road, delineated for bicyclists and pedestrians
