This consultation and Phase 1 of this project are now complete. A summary report of the engagement is available. Phase 2 will take place through the Official Plan update. For more information, visit Kitchener 2051.


We are doing a study on the Belmont Village Urban Corridor to review existing planning policies and guidelines. The study will identify what we might need to better align with the vision for Belmont Avenue West and its role as an "urban corridor" within the city. If necessary, we might make changes to our zoning by-laws and urban design guidelines.

We are looking for your comments and ideas about the look and feel of Belmont Avenue West. We also want to hear your ideas on amenities and streetscaping for future developments. Help us plan the future of the Belmont Village Urban Corridor.

  • Share I wonder if it still makes sense to have 4 vehicle lanes passing through Belmont Village. I don't believe it is a main thoroughfare to anywhere, so do we need the current layout? Is there a better way to use that prime real estate than what it is currently? on Facebook Share I wonder if it still makes sense to have 4 vehicle lanes passing through Belmont Village.

    DaveK asked over 2 years ago

    Thank you for your comment. Kitchener's Official Plan identifies Belmont Avenue as a City Arterial Street. City Arterial Streets provide mobility for people and goods through and within the city and provide opportunities for transit and dedicated cycling facilities where identified in Kitchener's Cycling and Trails Mater Plan. The redesign of Belmont Avenue is not part of the Belmont Village Urban Corridor Study however these comments will be shared with Kitchener transportation staff.
