This road reconstruction project is complete.

Map of project limits

Road & Sewer improvements have been scheduled on Stirling Ave. S. between Greenbrook Dr. and Mausser Ave.

Specific improvements scheduled for this street are:

Upgrade the existing storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water mains.

  • Replace existing sanitary and water services from the new mains to the property line.
  • Curb and gutter, and sidewalks will be installed.
  • Upgrade the asphalt roadway.
  • Replace all driveway ramp entrances in concrete.

These improvements are being done to upgrade the existing, deteriorated underground services and above-ground surface features, in order to prevent future system failure.

In order to carry out these improvements, it will be necessary to close this street to through traffic. Prior to any road closure, signs will be posted on the approaching streets advising motorists of the date and the duration of the closure.

Pedestrian access will be maintained to all properties at all times and vehicular access to all properties within the construction area will be maintained for as long as possible. On-street parking permits, which will allow parking on adjacent side streets, will be hand-delivered to affected homes before vehicular access is cut off.

Progress and major milestones will be posted on this project page. Subscribe to get project updates by using the Stay Informed 'Subscribe' button.

    We are currently on target to open the road the week of the 6th, we have the traffic lights scheduled to be activated just prior to opening the road.  We have a delay in traffic sign and sod deliveries.  The signs are needed to safely open the road, and we can't safely do the remaining landscaping with active traffic.

  • Share My last 'question' went unanswered but I suppose thats on me for not actually asking an actual question, more just a concern. I'll ask actual questions that you can answer. What is the minimum legal or standard urban width of a two lane road in ROW and/or Ontario? What is the actual (numbers) width of this new roadway? Can two large vehicles (eg: 5 ton trucks, Uhaul) fit safely side by side and/or navigate the intersection? Can two full size dually pickup trucks fit side by side and/or navigate the intersection? Can someone who is trailoring something safely navigate without impacting oncoming lanes/curbs/pedistrians? Can a Fire Truck safely navigate corners without impacting curbs, other cars, pedistrians? Is there enough space to make a safe turn? Will there be enough room for oncoming traffic to safely move to the side of the road to allow for police, EMS and/or Fire trucks in the event of an emergency? Can a GRT bus navigate the new road way and safely avoid all obsticales such as but not limited to: other large vehicles (eg: garbage trucks), other cars? Can a GRT bus safely navigate the turn at the new smaller intersection without impeding oncoming traffic/hitting curbs/pedistrians? Where are cyclists supposed to go? share the roadway or sidewalk which we're not supposed to do? Why are the new sidewalks standard concrete sidewalks and not made to be the extra wide ashphalt ones that allow for pedistrian AND bicycles. With the current state of construction, you can clearly see there is a lot of wasted space. The new road way could have been made slightly wider and we could have had those wider sidewalks while giving us that "urbanized" curbed look you decided on. These are all questions that you should already have answers to so should be easy for you to reply.

    Referring to the section of Stirling Ave between Greenbrook Drive and Homer Watson Boulevard this road, including the intersections, were designed in a manner to accommodate GRT bus traffic. All roadway projects are designed using TAC (Transportation Association of Canada) guidelines which specify minimum widths for different classifications of roadway and posted speed, and require input from agency partners (such as transit, emergency services, operations, etc.).  Lane widths on Stirling are 3.2m which is appropriate under these guidelines. Truck turning movements were completed and analyzed during the design process to ensure trucks and other large vehicles (such as snow plows and fire trucks) can safely navigate the intersections.  Asphalt bicycle lanes are located above with the boulevard space next to the concrete sidewalk, on each side of the street creating a designated space for pedestrians and cyclists.

    Hi,

    The new lane configuration for Stirling Avenue South was designed and constructed to the appropriate geometric proper standards.

  • Share Hi, about this Project in Stirling & Greenbrook. I saw you already put concrete lines. I'm Just wondering, will still remain double line traffic or just one? I hope still keep both traffic as was it; however, I have this doubt because the space looks very tight. Thanks for your attention. on Facebook Share Hi, about this Project in Stirling & Greenbrook.

    Stirling will retain two way traffic when its open.  It is narrower when compared to what was there before, and is urbanized with concrete curbs.  There will better active transportation (sidewalks and trails) so it will be an overall improvement for all users.
