Lane reversals have been implemented in the City of Calgary on several approaches to the downtown core in order to maximize peak period capacity without costly and intrusive expansion of inner city roadway infrastructure. This paper describes the development and implementation of the most recent lane reversal project, the 5th Avenue Connector, a contra-flow facility operating in the morning peak period on one of the busiest approaches to downtown Calgary. For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD number E211521.
