Help ensure that your customers have the opportunity to access parking.

• Inform your customers of the closest parking lots
• Inform vendors or delivery agencies of changes to road access
• Encourage staff to park in lots outside of the downtown core

Ensure you have multiple channels for your customers to find and know what you have available, especially during COVID-19. Here are a few suggestions:

• Research Online, Purchase Offline: Customers are researching products online, then purchasing in store. Use your online space to show them your offering and what’s available.
• Buy Online, Pick-up In Store: Offering Pick-up In Store and Curbside allows you to make the sale and customers to feel safe while browsing online, particularly during COVID-19.
• Get creative and find alternate ways to bring your product to your customer. Options include home delivery, pick-up models, meetings or consultations.
• Get set-up with an online store for free with shopHERE.

Look at your overall marketing strategy - is it doing what you need? Maybe it’s time to update your approach.

• Visit digitalmainstreet.ca for free resources and training tutorials to help you build a digital plan
• Kawartha Lakes has hired a Digital Service Squad to help businesses with free digital consulting, book your free session today.

• Host promotions or events for your customers, try limited time items, new products or weekly specials and announcements.
• Be creative and don’t forget to share your promotions on social media, follow @EcDevKL and use #diggindowntownlindsay

• Bring new colour to your window displays to draw attention and brighten the customer experience.

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.
