Key takeaways:
- Public Works officials say an overall traffic plan and a new road will improve the condition.
- Keith Notman says a continuous line of vehicles makes it hard for him to leave his residential road off Towers Road.
Charlottetown has witnessed a lot of development in the previous couple of years — citizens around the Royalty Crossing Shopping Mall are concerned about the extra traffic that comes with that.
Towers Road, which leads to the back of the mall, has some flats and townhouse developments in the planning stages, under construction, or lately completed.
Keith Notman lives off Towers Road.
“It’s got to a moment now where we almost can’t turn onto Towers Road, either left or right at busy hours, like in the morning or at night,” stated Notman.

“Charlottetown appears to be hung up on development even if it’s at the disadvantage of people in the surrounding neighborhoods,” he said.
CBC talked with several other citizens who said they are concerned about increased traffic on the road.
Notman said he stresses when he sees more development activity and said there should be a sidewalk.
“The traffic volume on Towers Road is constantly rising,” he said. “It bothers us.”
