Waterloo Region, ON
The Region of Waterloo wants to widen Trussler Road from two to four lanes between Bleams Road and Highway 7/8. The project would also add cycling and walking paths. Construction is planned for 2027-2029, with a budget of $12.58 million.

Why This Matters: Live near 142 Street and 91 Avenue? This could change your neighbourhood's look and feel. A 6-storey building would replace single-family homes on a corner lot. More housing and shops could mean more foot traffic—but also more shadows and density than what's there now.

Sibbald Point Provincial Park near Lake Simcoe needs to upgrade its aging sewage system. To do this, Ontario wants to rezone about 2.9 hectares from natural environment to development zone. The change would allow expanding the trailer dump station...
