We are building new sidewalks to better connect our neighbourhoods and provide a safe, accessible and comfortable option for people walking and rolling to meet their daily needs.
The new sidewalk projects on Gilmore Avenue, Carleton Avenue, Dunnedin / Carnegie streets and Portland Street are part of a citywide New Sidewalks Program.
What's happening now?
Do you reside at or own property on any of the following areas?
- Gilmore Avenue (between Douglas Road and William Street)
- Carleton Avenue (between William Street and Union Street)
- Dunnedin and Carnegie streets (from the laneway to Duncan Avenue)
- Portland Street (from the cul-de-sac after Buller Avenue to Gilley Avenue)
- Madison Avenue (Pender Street to William Street)
If so, road and sidewalk upgrades will begin in early 2026. You will receive a letter in the mail detailing infrastructure upgrades, the installation of new sidewalks and if there will be any changes to the street right in front of your property (known as the city right of way).
