Union Street design alternatives survey
Two primary design alternatives have been developed for Union Street:
Alternative 1 – new cycling infrastructure (bike lanes)
Alternative 2 – pedestrian-focused
Alternative 1 includes pedestrian sidewalks and one-way bike lanes between King Street and Bowman Street, with three possible sub-alternatives for the area between Bowman Street and Moore Avenue, where there is more road space.
Alternative 2 has been developed as a “pedestrian-focused” corridor, with wider sidewalks and boulevards. There are no dedicated bike lanes as part of this design, and as a result, nearby properties will be less impacted compared to Alternative 1. Instead, cyclists would be directed to a yet-to-be determined parallel route, to be identified in the coming update to the city’s Transportation Master Plan.
Details on all Alternative 1 options and Alternative 2 are available in the News feed, under First public information and consultation. Detailed plans for all options are available in the Project Library, in the Design Alternatives Technical Drawings folder.
The survey will remain open until October 6, 2020.
