Williamsville Renewal

The City of Kingston and Utilities Kingston will reconstruct Princess Street (from Division Street to Albert Street) and Garrett Street in 2026. This substantial infrastructure renewal project will upgrade utilities both above and below ground while enhancing safety and comfort for pedestrians and cyclists.

Street and roadway highlights include:

  • Installation of new cycle tracks along the Princess Street portion.
  • Upgrade accessibility at road crossings.
  • Upgrade transit stops and infrastructure.
  • Separate combined sewers and replace sanitary services.
  • Install new watermain with service replacements.
  • Upgrade Kingston Hydro infrastructure.
  • Reconstruct sidewalks and curbs.
  • Repave the roadway.
  • Review and recommend side street parking areas to compensate for the parking spaces removed from Princess Street.
  • Consider areas for street trees, planter boxes and other street furniture, such as benches.

The reconstruction of Princess Street in this area is driven by the need to upgrade the infrastructure and is guided by the Williamsville Main Street Transportation Study(External link), completed in 2024 following extensive public consultation. For more details on that study, please visit the archived project pages on Get Involved Kingston.
