2021 Updates

May 2021 - Construction on the east segment of the Wolseley to Downtown Walk Bike Project will begin in June, 2021. The east segment area includes the following streets: Westminster Ave from Walnut St to Young St, Young St from Westminster Av to Balmoral St, Balmoral St from Young St to Granite Way and Granite Way from Balmoral St to Osborne St.

This construction will implement work identified through public engagement and community consultations: a bidirectional bike path that connects the West Broadway neighbourhood to Downtown.

The connection will include both a segment of paved path on the boulevard and segments of new protected on-street bike lanes. To support the needs of residents and businesses in the area, we will also construct new loading and parking bays, and complete various sidewalk rehabilitations, street pavement repairs, curb repairs, and underground infrastructure repairs. To improve the overall safety and rideability of the road, we will also conduct numerous geometric improvements and install a raised crossing at Osborne Street North.

Construction will have an impact on traffic, parking and access. One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction during construction and the parking will be removed from the project area as required. Access to back lanes and approaches will be maintained, however temporary closures may be required.

If you are business with access, delivery, or loading requirements that we should be aware of, please contact us to discuss your needs.

We also ask those with accessibility concerns, planned special events, known underground appurtenances (such as sprinklers or lighting cables within three metres of the street property line), or any questions or concerns to contact Thomas Findlay: thomas.findlay@aecom.com. AECOM is the City's contract administrator for the project.
