Construction set to begin

The City of Kingston is moving forward with improvements to the Montreal Street and John Counter Boulevard intersection, set to begin as early as March 17, 2025, and continue to October 2025. This major project aims to improve traffic flow, pedestrian safety and options for cyclists and pedestrians in the area.

To stay updated on traffic impacts, residents are encouraged to subscribe to the City’s weekly Road and Parking Notices newsletter. Visit Kingston Transit’s Service Alerts page to keep track of news and information on any service changes that may affect your commute. 

The project will also extend the Waaban Crossing multi-use pathway from Ascot Lane west to the K&P Trailhead at Elliott Avenue. New cycle tracks and sidewalks will be added along Montreal Street near the intersection.

Residents and commuters should anticipate lane reductions which may cause occasional traffic congestion. There are no planned road closures, but drivers are advised to plan for possible delays and consider alternate routes. Access to residential and commercial driveways will be maintained throughout construction. No impacts to emergency services are anticipated, as response procedures have been adjusted to account for the work in this area.
