Norman Rogers Drive – Transportation Network Improvements
Roadway rehabilitation and configuration improvements are planned for Norman Rogers Drive in 2026. These enhancements will improve road condition, accessibility, and safety for all road users, including students, families, and local residents.
Project location map
Planned improvements
Enhancing pedestrian safety, especially for school children, by using bump-outs, narrowings, and other features to prevent illegal on-street parking and speeding.
One at-grade pedestrian crossover in front of St. Thomas More Catholic School.
One raised pedestrian crossover at the Norman Rogers Drive and Byron Crescent south intersection.
One at-grade pedestrian crossover at the pathway east of Centennial Public School.
One at-grade pedestrian crossover at the Norman Rogers Drive and Byron Crescent north intersection.
An all-way stop at the Norman Rogers Drive and Van Order Drive east intersection.
Full-depth road reconstruction for the entire length of Norman Rogers Drive.
Traffic calming measures throughout the corridor including:
Curb bump-outs at intersections
Narrowing the road width to 8.0m for the length of the road and narrowing further to 6.6m in front of schools.
Speed cushions around school zones.
Upgrades to the existing storm drainage network
These traffic calming elements are funded through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program and the Road Safety Initiatives Fund, which require permanent traffic calming measures to be incorporated into the design. This design for Norman Rogers Drive has been developed in accordance with the City’s Traffic Calming Policy, applicable roadway design guidelines, school area safety standards, and Green Streets principles recently adopted by City Council.
Existing conditions
Proposed improvements
Construction impacts
Access: Road closures and driveway restrictions will be required during construction.
Parking: On-street parking may be reduced or not available during portions of construction. Following construction, some parking spaces will be removed at targeted locations along the corridor to accommodate safety improvements, including pedestrian crossings, curb extensions, improved visibility at intersections, and updated roadway design in school areas.
Reductions are limited to specific locations required to accommodate these safety features. Many of the changes occur in areas where parking is already prohibited through signage or operational restrictions, particularly near intersections and school frontages. The design formalizes and reinforces these existing restrictions through physical measures that improve sight lines and crossing safety.
Illegal parking in these locations has created visibility and access concerns for pedestrians, including school children. The proposed curb extensions and clearly defined parking areas help prevent unsafe stopping and parking behaviours that compromise safety.
The majority of on-street parking will remain available. For the existing 55 homes along Norman Rogers, approximately 168 on-street spaces will remain available outside of school hours. On-street parking will continue to be available in proximity to all homes along Norman Rogers Drive, in some cases a short walk away or on the opposite side of the street. Outside of school hours, parking will continue to be permitted within signed school bus loading zones and ‘no stopping – school days only' areas.
These adjustments are necessary to implement funded pedestrian safety and traffic calming measures within the existing right-of-way.
Construction is being planned for summer 2026 to minimize impacts during the school year.
