The street in most places is 4 lanes. From Gorsebrook Ave to Cunard Street its 4 lanes boulevard style divided roadway. From Cunard to Almon Streets it's a 2 lane street and public resistance prevented it from being a 4 lane street and is a major bottleneck for traffic in the afternoon going to the Macdonald Bridge via North Street. From the Almon To the MacKay Bridge Ramps it is 4 lane undivided. From Livingstone Street to Memorial Drive it's a 2 lane street . A section is called the 'Robie Street Extension' which connects Robie Street from Livingstone Street to the MacKay bridge but it's not officially Robie Street.
