Bank Street Active Transportation and Transit Priority Feasibility Study

We wish to thank residents for participating in the public open house for the Bank Street Active Transportation and Transit Priority Feasibility Study on September 24, 2024 at the Blessed Sacrament Parish, 194 Fourth Avenue.

The study is investigating the feasibility of improving transit reliability, travel times and conditions for walking and cycling on Bank Street (Highway 417 to the Canal Bridge). The open house included a presentation at 7 pm to present the recommended street design. The study team was available to answer

The study team is conducting additional analysis to support the study along with work to respond to a recent motion(External link) approved at Council on May 28. The next Public Open House is now expected to take place in September, with a report to the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee and Council to follow.

We are pleased to share the “As We Heard it” report, which summarizes the feedback received through the survey. Access the file in the documents section on the right side of this page.

The study team is continuing to analyze the options. A second public information session is planned to present the preliminary preferred design in winter 2025.

We will continue to post updates as the project progresses.

An Online Public Open House was held on June 12, 2024 at 6:30 pm focusing on existing conditions, shortlisted options and evaluation considerations. This provided an opportunity to learn more about the study and take part in a question-and-answer session.
