2026 is Williamsville's Year

We’re excited to announce that we’ve taken the next major step in the plan to renew Princess Street from Division to Alfred and Garret Street, as well as build the Frontenac Street Parkette.

Earlier this week, we published a request for proposals (RFP) for contractors to bid for the construction of the project. This is an important milestone because it means we’re getting closer to construction. Once the RFP process wraps up and contracts are signed, we’ll have plenty of details to share.

What’s next?

Construction is planned to start this spring and wrap up the major work in late 2027.

This past fall, we hosted two public information sessions in September and November at the Memorial Centre and shared information on the Williamsville Renewal Get Involved webpage. If you missed those sessions, materials from those events, including designs and summaries of the comments and questions we received, can be found there.

During that period of engagement with the community, we heard a lot of specific questions about what the impact on the Williamsville neighbourhood will be during construction. Once we bring a construction contractor on board, we promise to keep you informed and work closely with them to address the concerns and ideas we’ve heard from you.

We would like to thank everyone for your interest and input so far! This is an exciting project for our community, and we look forward to sharing more updates later this winter as plans take shape.
