Downtown Cambridge truck diversion study

Project overview

The Downtown Cambridge Truck Diversion study is looking at the impacts of diverting trucks from downtown Cambridge along Water and Ainslie streets and bringing recommendations to Council for a decision. If approved, the diversion would see trucks that are currently driving through the downtown core, rerouted along McQueen Shaver Boulevard, Franklin Boulevard, and Dundas Street. Trucks delivering goods to downtown would be exempt from the restriction.

Recommendation to Planning and Works Committee – August 15, 2023

A review of technical studies, public consultation and strategic plans has concluded with staff making a recommendation to Regional Council to divert trucks from downtown Cambridge. The Cambridge Truck Diversion Study- Final Evaluation (TSD-TRP-23-11) staff report will be presented to Regional Council at the Planning and Works Committee on August 15, 2023, with recommendations.
