Belvedere Roundabout

The Belvedere Roundabout will be Charlottetown's fourth City-maintained roundabout.

Currently, the intersection is a challenge based on how the various roads come together. The complexity is unique but the engineer design solutions address that and more.

The new 5-legged roundabout will feature:

• A single lane roundabout for car traffic - the exception of the northbound approach to St. Peter’s Road being two lanes
• The construction a uni-directional, 1.5m wide, paved active transportation pathway that circulates the outside of the roundabout and will replace the proposed sidewalk.
  • All users will be directed to circulate counter clockwise (the same as vehicular traffic circulates) on the pathway to get to their destination.
  • The construction of ramps at all approaches to ensure safe and easy accessibility for cyclist when enter/exiting the cycling lanes on the roadway.
  • Installation of detailed signage and a road markings plan will be developed later this year to direct users on how to navigate the roundabout
• Bike-friendly and pedestrian crossing lighting
• Center island design is currently being discussed which could include landscaping, but also public art
• We will also be working to improve driveway access points on St. Peter’s Road and Brackley Point Road

Work is expected to start late-summer 2022 and be completed before the end of the year.
