New Union Street design update

Based on feedback provided by Council and the public, the project team has prepared a new concept for the reconstruction of Union Street. Concept 4 (PDF) has been added to the project library for review and comment. Please note that this is a technical design document and not accessible. If you require this information in another format, please contact our project team.

The new concept proposes on-street painted cycling lanes From King Street South to Mary Street, curb-separated, buffered cycling facilities between Mary Street and Bowman Street, and in-boulevard cycling facilities between Bowman Street and Moore Avenue South. A designated, signed and marked pedestrian crossing is also proposed at Herbert Street.

For several reasons, such as the increased complexity of the design, the need to relocate some utilities in advance, and the nature of property acquisition processes, construction is now planned for two phases, tentatively scheduled for 2023 and 2024. The limits of each phase will be determined at a later date once the detailed design has been finalized, and the construction timing will remain subject to change as we move forward.
