Current Projects

Rosemont Transportation Improvements

The City is currently working on the next phase of the Active Transportation Implementation Plan. This second phase will improve transportation for ALL modes of transport between the City core and the neighbourhood of Rosemont. This connection was indicated as a missing link in the Active Transportation Implementation Plan. Proposed improvements will include safer routing for pedestrians, better sightlines and more efficient traffic flows for drivers, and a separated lane for cyclists.

See below, an estimated timeline for this project updated October 28th, 2022.
