Capital Projects approved for 2022
Multi-use trails
Crosstown Trail
Construction of the Crosstown Trail from Bristol Circle to Winston Churchill Boulevard, with support of funding from the Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling (OMCC) Program, was completed in August 2022.
Detailed design has started for the Crosstown Trail from Fourth Line to Bronte Road, and work is currently underway.
Upper Middle Road
Rehabilitation of the multi-use trail between Sixth Line and Golden Briar Trail is underway.
The project will improve mobility options and increase the level of safety for walking and cycling for the entire community, as Upper Middle Road is a major arterial roadway and a primary active transportation route. Improvements to this section of multi-use trail are expected to be complete by December 2022.
The project received Government of Canada support through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) as part of the Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF).
North Service Road
Detailed design of a multi-use trail between Fourth Line and Dorval Drive is anticipated to begin in September 2022.

Lakeshore Road East
A feasibility study has commenced to review the possibility of introducing on-road bike lanes on Lakeshore Road East between Allan Street and Winston Churchill Boulevard.
Other locations
Additional bike lane improvements are also anticipated for Michigan Drive, Joshua’s Creek Drive, and Navy Street.
Detailed design projects currently underway that incorporate on-road bike lanes into future construction include Wyecroft Road, Khalsa Gate, Bridge Road, Sixth Line, and the North Service Road.
Separated bike lanes
Protected on-road bike lanes are being included into the detailed design of Speers Road between Fourth Line and Dorval Drive.
