Project Details:
This intersection has been designated as a high-risk road segment in the City’s Transportation Master Plan. The planned improvements are expected to significantly enhance safety and accessibility while reducing the likelihood of future infrastructure challenges.
Planned improvements include new traffic signals that meet AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act) standards, upgraded pedestrian crosswalks featuring tactile plates for improved accessibility, and enhanced drainage systems along both the roadway and the adjacent activity trail to reduce water accumulation and improve overall usability.
The upgrades are expected to significantly reduce future infrastructure challenges while creating a safer environment for both pedestrians and motorists.
Phase 1:
Work will begin with site preparation during the week of July 21. In the first phase of construction, traffic on Airport Rd. will not be impacted and access to local businesses will remain open. Westmount Blvd. from Airport Rd. to Emilie St. will be limited to local traffic only. A designated pedestrian pathway will be maintained and clearly fenced on both sides for those crossing Westmount Blvd. at Airport Rd.
