Cycle track detour for utility work on Olympic Way S.E.
On September 28, 2023, a change is being made to the 12 Avenue cycle track detour.
With Olympic Way S.E. closed between 9 Avenue and 11 Avenue until the end of 2023, additional road capacity is required for vehicles exiting the Culture + Entertainment District. In order to achieve this, 12 Avenue will be converted to allow two-way travel between Macleod Trail (2 Street S.E.) and Olympic Way S.E. This requires the temporary removal of the existing cycle track in that block.
Cyclists and other users of the network can follow the detour provided through Enoch Park, the southern sidewalk of 11 Avenue, and the western sidewalk of 3 Street S.E. to the 10 Avenue detour to Olympic Way S.E. Sidewalk riding will be legalized along this detour with bicycle stencils painted to guide the way. Please see the map for more details.
Users can expect snow and ice control to be executed on this route.
