Garibaldi Way and Tantalus Road upgrades set to begin

Upgrades will improve safety and traffic flow for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles 

Construction will soon begin on a long-planned project to improve the intersection of Garibaldi Way and Tantalus Road. These upgrades are being completed in order to increase safety and improve traffic flow in this area. Work is set to begin in mid-March and continue through until the end of June.

Work will include the installation of a new multi-use path along Garibaldi Way from Highway 99 to Diamond Head Road, a second crosswalk with flashing beacons on Garibaldi Way at Tantalus Road and the conversion of Tantalus Road South to one-way in the southbound direction between Garibaldi Way and Diamond Road.

Please anticipate the following impacts during construction:

• Tantalus Road South will have a permanent traffic pattern change to a one-way southbound;
• There will be no parking on Tantalus Road (east side, north of Garibaldi Way) to facilitate the bike lane extension toward the intersection;
• Southeast access to the 7-11 at Garibaldi Way will be permanently closed; and
• Please expect vehicle, cyclist and pedestrian impacts while construction is underway. Regular construction noise should be expected between the working hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Work is scheduled to take approximately 10 weeks to complete.

This project is being funded by the Capital Projects budget and Development Cost Charges (DCCs).
