Project Overview

The Regional Municipality of Waterloo has completed a planning study for the modifications of Victoria Street in Kitchener near the future Kitchener Central Transit Hub. The study is a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Schedule "B". Please see the Notice of Study Completion for more information on the public review period and the Project File for the complete study under Document Library on this page.

This project is focused on Victoria Street North (Regional Road 55) from King Street West (Regional Road 15) to Weber Street West (Regional Road 8). The planning for Victoria Street is focused on high-quality multimodal connections to facilitate better first- and last-mile connections to the future Kitchener Central Transit Hub. This work will directly benefit the Kitchener Central Transit Hub project by creating space for infrastructure for walking, cycling, and transit.

The preferred preliminary design, approved by Regional Council in December 2024, includes wider sidewalks on both sides, a separated two-way cycle track on the west side (in front of the station), sections of transit priority lanes (reserved bus lanes) at critical locations, and single vehicular lane in each direction.

Municipal Class Environmental Assessment

This MCEA Study followed the Municipal Engineers Association’s MCEA process for a Schedule ‘B’ undertaking (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2023), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.

The Notice of Completion was issued on April 2, 2026
