The Highway 99 intersection at Cleveland Avenue has the highest intersection accident statistics in Squamish. In particular, the southbound right turning lane off Cleveland Avenue onto Highway 99 is prone to accidents.
The BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) is responsible for all highway intersections. In 2016, the District of Squamish partnered with MOTI and the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) to study the intersection. A report was brought to Council in December 2016, which included a number of recommendations.
MOTI began construction of the southbound acceleration lane in summer 2022.
The District implemented a number of improvements that came out of the recommendations.
Much of the DOS work focused on improving pedestrian and cyclist safety in relation to the intersection:
ICBC continues to be a strong supporter and funds traffic improvements within the District of Squamish annually.
MOTI began construction of the southbound acceleration lane in summer 2022.
