Overview
The pilot project has changed Aquitaine Avenue from four lanes to three. This traffic calming measure will help increase comfort, accessibility and safety for all road users, including cyclists, pedestrians and drivers. It will also help reduce speeding by narrowing the road to keep traffic slower.
As part of the pilot, on-road protected bike lanes, dedicated vehicle parking lanes and dedicated centre or left-turn lanes were added along different sections of Aquitaine Avenue.

Status
The installation of the pilot road reconfiguration is complete. The City will be monitoring road operations throughout 2024 and into early 2025 to inform a future permanent road configuration.
Aquitaine Avenue is currently part of larger study to look at permanent cycling infrastructure on 3 corridors:
- Aquitaine Avenue
- Argentia Road east of Winston Churchill Boulevard to Turner Valley Road
- Millcreek Drive
