Genesee
Avenue grade separation : profile
The
Genesee Avenue / Governor Drive intersection is particularly well-suited
for grade separation, since it lies at the top of a hill. Starting
70' north of Radcliffe Lane, the two interior lanes (one NB, one
SB) on Genesee Avenue would be drawn below grade, eventually tunneling
beneath Governor Drive in a short (114' long) underpass. The termination
of the grade separation on the northern end would occur approximately
280' south of Calgary Court.
Radcliffe
Lane would become right-out-only within this alternative. Indeed,
it likely would suffer the same fate under any alternative, since
traffic on Genesee Avenue is projected to increase relative to today's
volumes (within any scenario, including the bridge), and it is already
quite dangerous to make a left turn from Radcliffe Lane onto Genesee
Avenue.
