City Activates Snowmobile Crossing on Algonquin Blvd. E.

The snowmobile crossing on Algonquin Blvd. E. adjacent to Hollinger Park has been activated. The crossing makes up half of the new traffic light installation that allows pedestrians and snowmobiles to cross Algonquin Blvd. E. safely, and provides dedicated left turns for vehicles exiting KFC.

The traffic lights and dual crossings were added as a solution for safe trail access for snowmobiles, following the removal of the Algonquin overpass in early 2024. Separate crossings for snowmobiles and pedestrians are in place for safety, with mounted buttons installed for rider access. The snowmobile crossing connects to an approved trail through Hollinger Park and Water Tower Rd.

Please refer to the Timmins Snow Mobile Club for information on trail access.
