Project phases

At the September 24, 2019 Council meeting, engineering staff brought forward a report requesting modifications of the current Downtown Lindsay Reconstruction project.

The report outlined an update to the recommended phases of the project. The project will be completed in four main phases, with phase one currently under construction. The intent of the updated phases is to minimize the construction occurring on Kent Street during the summer months while also allowing for a flexible schedule to meet realistic timelines for a project of this size and capacity.

See below for an updated map on the Downtown Lindsay Reconstruction Project phases.



Phase 1 of the project, includes Peel Street from Victoria Avenue to William Street, and Russell Street from Lindsay Street to Victoria Avenue.

Phase 2 of the Downtown Reconstruction includes Kent Street from William to Lindsay Street, and Lindsay Street from Russell to Kent Street E. Phase 2 work is to be constructed between February and November of 2020, ensuring that Kent St is not reconstructed during the busy summer months (July and August).

Phase 3 includes Kent Street from Victoria to William Street, Cambridge Street from Peel Street to Russell Street. Phase 3 work is to be constructed between January and November 2021 ensuring that Kent Street is not reconstructed during the busy summer months (July and August).

Phase 4 includes William Street from Peel Street to Russell Street, York Street from Peel Street to Russell Street and Peel Street from William Street to York Street. Work is to be constructed between March and November 2022.
