The City of Lethbridge hosted an open house to discuss traffic co
ncerns on Squamish Boulevard and connecting roadways on November 15th, 2011. Thanks to the more than 100 Lethbridge residents who attended.
The open house was a come and go format with no formal presentation. Residents and stakeholders had the opportunity to volunteer on a citizen committee, which will work with City staff and consultants to develop solutions to help alleviate the traffic concerns identified on Squamish Boulevard.

On December 13, 2011, a citizen committee meeting consisting of four City of Lethbridge staff, three members of a consulting team (Associated Engineering) and six resident members from the neighborhood met for the first time.
The agenda included:
- What was heard at the Open House
- Overview of Triple Bottom Line Approach
- Identify Criteria and group into categories
The citizen committee members voted on the criteria that was received for the initial open house held on November 15, 2011. This information was processed to assign a weighting to each criteria to be brought forward at the second committee meeting.
On January 17, 2012 the citizen committee met for the second time.
The committee members prioritized all the solutions that were heard from the open house and meetings. The residents selected the top six criteria for the consultants so they can be processed to be evaluated and brought forward at the next committee meeting.
The next meeting will be held in February 2012.
