Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link
University Avenue and King Street Intersection

The Region of Waterloo is currently undertaking a Schedule "C" Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for improvements to the University Avenue (Regional Road 57) corridor from Albert Street to Weber Street in the City of Waterloo. Improvements along University Avenue (Regional Road 57) are being considered to improve roadway and underground infrastructure, active transportation facilities and traffic operations along the corridor.

This project is in the early phase of the Class EA process. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the first in-person Public Consultation Centre had to be cancelled.

A virtual Public Information video has been uploaded to inform the public of the project and to encourage input on the project for further development of alternatives and their environmental impacts.

The public is invited to review the alternatives being considered for this project, and provide input regarding the planning and design of the improvements being considered.

Please refer to the video section on this page for a video description of the project. Key Documents are also available in the Information Package and review drawings showing the alternatives being considered.

Feedback can be provided online through the survey below, by mapping your feedback below, or by asking a question under the Questions tab.

    Project Survey

    Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. The purpose of this survey is to help us understand how we can best redesign the University Avenue corridor and how to incorporate cycling lanes.

    This survey is expected to take approximately 10 minutes to complete. There will be limited number of staff members at the Region who have access to the raw data and will be shared on a need to know basis. Any information you provide will remain confidential. All results will be grouped together and reported as averages or themes with any identifying information removed. It is possible the aggregated results will be included in a future report to Council, or will be publicly released in other ways, such as the Region's website, social media accounts or the Engage Waterloo Region project page. 

    If you have questions about the University Avenue project or the survey, please contact Andrew Doman, Senior Project Engineer, by email at ADoman@regionofwaterloo.ca or by phone at 519-575-4400 x 3183. Please visit the University Avenue project page on Engage Waterloo Region for information and updates on the project.

    Please answer the questions based on your experiences BEFORE the provincial and regional lockdown due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
