Davenport Road multi-use path connection
We are looking for your feedback on the preliminary designs and project information for the new Davenport Road multi-use path connection.
The City plans to replace the existing sidewalk on the east side of Davenport Road between Northfield Drive and Lexington Road with a wider asphalt multi-use-path (MUP). Similarly, the short section of sidewalk on north side of Lexington Road between Davenport Road and Anndale Road.
The project will provide a separated cycling lane along this important corridor linking local neighbourhoods to shops, the ION station and GRT hub at Conestoga Mall, as well as the broader active transportation network.
View the current status of this project in the News Feed section. Updates will be provided as the project progresses. Please provide feedback in our Comments Section.
These improvements were recommended as a priority project in the Transportation Master Plan 2020 Update approved by Council in April 2021.
The City of Waterloo is currently working with local engineering firm Walter Fedy to provide engineering services for the design of this project. The typical cross section of the MUP is shown below and the initial design along the Davenport Road corridor is shown in the `Project Library’ section.

Multi-use Path
The existing eastside sidewalk on Davenport will be replaced with a wider asphalt multi-use path (MUP). Similarly, the north sidewalk on Lexington Road between Davenport and Anndale. The MUP will connect to other existing paths and the broader active transportation network.
All street crossings will be improved for accessibility. Additionally, lighting levels are being reviewed as part of the design.
Design
The City of Waterloo received funding from the Federal Governments Active Transportation Fund towards the planning and design of this project.
Construction is tentatively targeted for the summer of 2025.
Please provide any feedback on the preliminary design in the Comments section.
