Bleams Road Reconstruction - Kitchener
Official title: Bleams Road
Why This Matters
Live near Bleams Road in Kitchener? This project changed how you get around. Four new roundabouts replaced old intersections. New multi-use pathways make walking and cycling safer. The road reconstruction also brought a new watermain to the area.
What Could Change
This project is complete. The road now has four roundabouts at Trussler Road, Isaiah Drive, Donnenwerth Drive, and Commonwealth Street/Abram Clemens Street. Multi-use pathways run along both sides of Bleams Road, and a new watermain serves the area.
Key Issues
- Which intersection design was best: roundabouts, signals, or a hybrid approach?
- How should multi-use pathways be designed for pedestrians and cyclists?
