A study is underway to improve safety on Highway 11 through Davidson. The functional plan is looking at short-, medium- and long-term options to improve safety issues while supporting the community with future planning. By gathering input and feedback, the Ministry of Highways will determine:

• What options there are to improve safety at the South Commercial Access in the short and medium term?

• Where the future interchange will be located?

• What issues and constraints there are? An information session and virtual open house was held in December 2023 to share information and to gather public feedback.

Study Objectives

• How can we improve safety on Highway 11?

• How can we support the community with future planning?

• Future study to look at where is the best area to protect land for long-term infrastructure development

Progress

• Completed an initial Open House on Dec. 5, 2023

• Feedback suggested improvements are needed immediately at the Enterprise Lane intersection

• We will be looking at: – Interim solutions at Enterprise Lane – Long term planning

Initial Safety Improvements

• Highway 11 & Enterprise Lane – Signage improvements

• Pavement marking

Options at Highway 11 & Enterprise Lane

Three options were considered including:

• Right Turn Ramps (Preferred)

• Offset T Intersection 

• Reduced Collision U-turn  Preferred Interim Option

New Ramps:

• Low and Medium Speed Ramps – Better sight lines – Increased safety by separating right turns – Shorter wait times

Intersection:

• New Alignment to improve safety and business access

Next Steps

• Review feedback on the preferred interim solution at Highway 11 and Enterprise Lane

• Complete functional design for ultimate long-term improvements

• Stakeholder and public engagement for long-term improvements (Fall 2025)

• No timelines have been set for construction for short-, medium- or long-term improvements.
