North-end Charlottetown residents make appeal to change plans for neighbouring subdivision

CBC NEWS PEI

150 people signed a petition to get city hall to stop the development and have also filed an appeal to IRAC. As one person said, "we're not against development.......!" but not in my backyard, right!
Maybe we need to get a petition started on how many people are looking for a place to live in Charlottetown. I bet it would be 20x more than the 150 signatures trying to stop it.

reading this I can see that the gov is saying that there can not be any access to Hwy#2, why is this?

That makes 20, I’m pretty sure I got them all.

Soon there will be two in Stratford, the new roundabout will be near the new Shoppers that was built with an access road connecting to Glen Stewart Dr.
So that would be 21 in the Greater Charlottetown Area, not including two more that will be built summer 2023 on Grafton St by the Wendy's.

I did not know about these ones and was generally just using google maps to search. On the satellite pictures, it only shows one overpass in Clyde River so I assumed there to be only one. There’s more than I thought. When you count the rest of the province, there must be more per capita than anywhere’s else in Canada.

I'm probably missing some myself. By the end of the year, I'm sure we will be pushing 30.

Is there other ones the province or city plans on building this summer? What’s your thoughts on having some more on the bypass. I think there should be one at the hospital, one at Acadian drive, the traffic light at Southgate should become a pedestrian overpass and Patterson should be connected to Kensington and a roundabout added there.

Ideally there would be interchanges but the province seems to be unwilling to spend that kind of money on the bypass, as seen with the st Peters road intersection.

There was talk of adding one at Longworth and Euston and one is planned for Belvedere Ave. and St. Peters Rd.

They are also redesigning a portion of University Ave. this summer, not sure if that includes roundabouts. There will surely be more roundabouts in new subdivisions this summer as well.

Long worth and Euston makes a lot of sense, and Belvedere & St. Peter’s is the new 5 way one. Mount Edward & St. Peter’s road would make a lot of sense too. There is several intersections on Queen street that would make good locations too.

There is all stop signs at Longworth now. I am wondering if they are starting one there now.

Picton Beete Stratford
Bunbury Rd. Fort Augustus Rd.

2 more for the Greater Charlottetown total.

It also appears a roundabout for Euston and Longworth Ave. is under construction now.

josh_cat_eyes · #**3552** Posted **May 20, 2022, 3:45 PM**

There is so many roundabouts I didn’t know about in PEI! I grew up pretty close to the first one they built in Travellers Rest. I remember prior to that one being built there was talk about reads corner and Peter Pan corner getting them, but they ultimately went with traffic lights.

Euston / Longworth is still going to be signalized, but they’re removing the flashing red and slightly adjusting to alignment so turning right off Longworth onto Euston feels more like turning/switching streets.

Oops, I meant to add to my post that this is the only design I could find on the redo of Kens corner. However, I too did hear of issues on it. My main reason to post this was to show there was no interest in a roundabout.
So if anyone can find a different design please post.

The archived tender doesn’t include any drawings, but the awarded cost is under $400k, and the work description isn’t too extensive. Basically sounds like they’re moving the traffic lights back a bit, installing new lights, probably left turns, etc. It’s basically an upgrade like they did at Pownal/Euston years ago (which is now the worst set of lights downtown, they’re 100% timed, no traffic sensing, so you wait while noting is moving).

I agree with the Pownall/Euston lights, terrible setup! Its any wonder they didn't do the same at Prince/Euston when they upgraded that intersection. They are laid out about the same.
It'll be interesting to see how much they can screw this one up.

Nice to see a service station return to the downtown. However, I would have preferred it to be in another area. The Great George street section from the corner of Fitzroy and Euston would have been prime land for a business/apartment/condo complex for the downtown area.

Kreative Acres Corp. Building Expansion

Kreative Acres Corp. is expanding their current building at 85 Maple Hills Ave by 6,500 ft2 (604 m2) to the West. The additional space in the building will be used as a storage warehouse. Mitigation measures that will be implemented during the course of the project include the reuse of excavated earth on site and the disposal of construction debris in accordance with local regulation.

Charlottetown Airport Authority intends to make a determination regarding whether the carrying out of the project is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects. To help inform this determination, Charlottetown Airport Authority is inviting public comments until May 13, 2022 at 4:00 PM ADT respecting that determination.

Nothing as yet on any public comments. More to follow at a later date.
