The City of Whitehorse and Government of Yukon are partnering on the HART: Combined Intersection Upgrades project. This joint initiative will focus on improving the Hamilton Boulevard & Alaska Highway / Two Mile Hill Road and the Range Road & Two Mile Hill Road intersections. That is where the HART comes in – H for Hamilton Boulevard, A for Alaska Highway, R for Range Road, and T for Two Mile Hill.

Both intersections are prominent, high-volume intersections that serve a variety of road users including people walking, biking, riding transit, and driving. We also recognize the importance of these intersections for goods movement, deliveries, and emergency response, which underscores the need for a comprehensive approach that considers the needs of all users. The City and Government of Yukon have heard concerns about traffic and road safety issues, particularly between active transportation users and vehicles. Through this project, the City and Government of Yukon will work with residents and stakeholders to develop improvement options to make walking, biking, transit, and driving through these intersections easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

The HART: Combined Intersection Upgrades will be developed based on technical analysis and meaningful community and stakeholder engagement. Using input from both perspectives, the project team will develop a conceptual design that meets the goals and objectives of both the City and Government of Yukon.

The process to create the final design will be completed over the next 9 months, with a variety of engagement activities and opportunities to provide input.

Get involved

Input from community members is important for this project. The City of Whitehorse and Government of Yukon want to hear from a range of voices to create a conceptual design that addresses community concerns and priorities. All opinions are welcome!

  • HART: Combined Intersection Upgrades Project Survey #2

    The City of Whitehorse and the Government of Yukon are working together on a joint initiative called HART: Combined Intersection Upgrades. This project aims to improve two major intersections in Whitehorse:

    • the Hamilton Boulevard / Two Mile Hill Road & Alaska Highway intersection, and 
    • the Range Road & Two Mile Hill Road intersection.


    The goal of this project is to address traffic and safety concerns for all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and transit riders and improve traffic flow in this area. Based on what we learned in the first round of engagement and technical review, we have developed two design options. These options focus on improving traffic flow, enhancing safety and comfort for pedestrians and cyclists and providing safer crossings for pedestrians and cyclists. 


    The following survey will take you less than 15 minutes to complete. The information we gather from this survey will be used to help both the City of Whitehorse and the Government of Yukon finalize their design for this intersection.

    • Equity and Inclusion: advancing outcomes for equity-deserving groups
    • Winter Cities Design: planning for all seasons (especially winter) and minimizing winter maintenance

    We want your input on the issues and opportunities along this corridor. This survey will support the development of design options that meet the City of Whitehorse and Government of Yukon’s goals and objectives. It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete and will be available until July 5 at 11:59 pm.
