Saint John Common Council is planning to put University Avenue on a road diet. At Monday’s meeting, council approved the 2021 Traffic Safety Improvement Projects, which includes a plan to reduce University Avenue from four lanes of traffic to two in favour of making more space for cyclists. The plan would also see a bus shelter pushed further down the street to reduce traffic congestion near the Millidge Avenue intersection, and signalized crosswalks at Bloom Street and Varsity Street. Most councillors gushed about the plan, and its focus on safety improvement and active transportation. “This is a good news story. This shows how progressive the city has become,” said Councillor John MacKenzie.
