Victoria Street Improvements - Fischer-Hallman to Lawrence Avenue, Kitchener
Official title: Victoria Street
The Region of Waterloo is rebuilding Victoria Street in Kitchener with new bike lanes, multiuse trails, and safer intersections. Construction starts summer 2025 and wraps up in 2027. The project also includes underground infrastructure upgrades and transit improvements.
Why This Matters
Live on or near Victoria Street? Your commute is about to change. Cyclists get protected lanes. Pedestrians get multiuse trails. Drivers should expect construction delays through 2027. If you have concerns about property impacts or design choices, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
Victoria Street will get multiuse trails from Fischer-Hallman to Westmount Road, plus buffered bike lanes from Westmount to Lawrence Avenue. Road lanes will be narrowed to make room for raised cycling facilities. Intersection improvements at Westmount and Fischer-Hallman come first in 2025.
Key Issues
- Is the design for cycling and pedestrian facilities appropriate for this corridor?
- What concerns do residents have about property impacts from the road widening?
- Are the intersection safety improvements adequate?
How to Participate
