Region invites residents to comment on the detailed design for Victoria Street, between Fischer-Hallman and Lawrence

Waterloo Region – The Region of Waterloo is planning improvements to Victoria Street between Fischer-Hallman Road and Lawrence Avenue, in Kitchener. Proposed improvements include upgrades to underground infrastructure, safety enhancements at intersections, road reconstruction, streetlight upgrades, and new transit, cycling and pedestrian facilities.

The design optimizes active transportation and includes reducing the width of the road and boulevard space to include raised cycling facilities, separated from traffic, between Lawrence Avenue and Westmount Road. The design also includes new bike lanes in the boulevard from the Westmount Road intersection to the Henry Sturm Greenway, and multiuse trails on Victoria Street from Westmount Road to Fischer-Hallman Road.

Public Input

Residents are invited to provide their feedback on the EngageWR.ca project page in the comment section. The design drawings and a video presentation are available on the project page for information. Comments and feedback will be collected until April 10, 2024.

Next Steps

The project team will review all public feedback before presenting a report and preferred design to Regional Council this June.
