This intersection modification project aims to improve safety, help traffic flow, and prepare for future growth in the area. The planned work includes:
Traffic Signal Installation: A new traffic control signal will be installed at the intersection of Perth Street and Shea Road.
Road Widenings: The road will be widened to provide additional traffic lanes, and new centre medians will be installed.
Roadway Resurfacing: Perth Street will be resurfaced between Gamble Drive and the Flowing Creek Bridge, which is about 270 metres east of Shea Road.
Sidewalk Widening: Sidewalks will be widened to 2.0 metres where possible, and 1.5 metres in narrower, constrained areas to improve pedestrian safety.
Curb Repairs: Work will include repairing curbs and shifting curb locations where necessary.
Catch Basin Modifications: Catch basins will be moved or modified as needed to fit the new curbs and sidewalk bulb-outs.
When: Construction is planned to start spring 2027 and be completed by fall 2027.
