Region shares preferred option for improvements on Victoria Street (King Street West to Weber Street West)

Waterloo Region — The Region of Waterloo is making improvements to Victoria Street in Kitchener, from King Street West to Weber Street West, near the future Kitchener Central Transit Hub. This project focuses on high-quality multimodal connections, creating better first- and last-mile connections to the future Kitchener Central Transit Hub by creating infrastructure for walking, cycling, and transit.  

The Region is conducting a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) study to determine the feasibility of the project and develop a preliminary design for Victoria Street's modifications. The Notice of Study Commencement is available on the EngageWR website.

Public Meeting

Regional staff will share the progress of this project to date, present a preferred option, and ask for public feedback at an in-person meeting on June 18, 6:30–8:30 p.m. at the University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy Foyer, 10 Victoria Street South, Kitchener.

As of June 10, 2024, a pre-recorded presentation and a project survey will be available on the EngageWR website. The presentation will provide an overview of the problems and opportunities, the alternatives considered, the evaluation of alternatives, and the preliminary preferred alternative. Residents are invited to fill out the survey, share comments, and ask questions online from June 10 to July 5, 2024, and in person at the public meeting.
