For those of you who take bow trail into the downtown core during the morning rush hour. Today (Friday, September 15th) is the opening of the trial lane reversal otherwise known as the 5th Avenue Morning connector.

For those that normally get onto 5th avenue via 9th avenue, this should be much quicker, less lights and traffic flow should be better so start using it!
For those that stay on the southern end of the downtown core for their morning commute, the drivers that now take the 5th avenue connector should relieve some traffic congestion on 9th avenue right by 10th street that backs all the way up bow trail to past the greyhound station.
