Consultation has concluded

Protected bike lanes will be installed on River Avenue, Stradbrook Avenue, and Wellington Crescent (between River and Stradbrook) in 2023 as part of a larger road renewal project in the area.

This project will also include pedestrian upgrades like new crossings as well as trees and other elements that will together make cycling and walking through the area safer, more convenient, and more attractive options. Construction is expected to start in Summer 2023 and end in Fall 2023.

    We are pleased to share that we now have a final design for the project.

    We developed it based on both technical data and what we heard through meetings with potentially affected businesses and property owners in Summer 2022. (You can view the stakeholder engagement summary to get an overview of what we heard during these meetings.)

    Now, we’d like you to see the final design before it proceeds to construction this summer.

    You can also take a survey on the final design. The survey closes April 14, 2023.
