Collins Bay and Princess Active Transportation Upgrades
New sidewalks are planned along the east side of Collins Bay Road between Woodbine Road and Princess Street, as well as along the south side of Princess Street between Collins Bay Road and Lisa Street, and on the north side of Princess Street between Rosanna Avenue and Bayridge Drive. The project will also extend the existing on-road bike lanes on Collins Bay Road from Woodbine Avenue to Princess Street. This project will help to fill in gaps in the City’s current sidewalk and cycling networks, as identified in our Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP) and Five-Year Implementation Plan (ATIP).
Additionally, improved pedestrian connections will be introduced through the construction of new traffic signals at the Princess Street and Rosanna Avenue/Lisa Street intersection, and a signalized pedestrian crossing at Collins Bay Road and Humberside Drive.
As part of the design process, we are sharing information with community members on the scope of work that’s planned, the planned location of the sidewalks, and asking for input on where benches and rest areas could be located along the street. Other comments and suggestions on the project scope will be considered in finalizing the design of the improvements.
The map below highlights the extent of the work planned as part of this project.
