Welcome to the project page for the planned reconstruction of Herbert Street between Allen Street East and Union Street East. The city intends to completely reconstruct this section of Herbert to replace the aged watermain, sewers, and road structure (i.e. sidewalk, curbs and asphalt). This will also include the replacement of water and sanitary service laterals up to the common property line, including replacement of lead water services on city property.

Project updates will be posted in the newsfeed and the current progress of the project is noted in the project timeline. The page will also be open to public comments for limited time periods following the release of design information, so please check back often or sign up to follow the project to receive email updates.

    Potential Herbert Street changes

    We have already heard from some residents on Herbert Street regarding possibilities for changes to the street during this reconstruction project. There are some changes that must be incorporated, such as wider sidewalks to meet provincial accessibility requirements. Other possibilities, such as contraflow bike lanes (bike lanes that allow two-way bike traffic on a one-way street) are being considered, but may involve a tradeoff with other street elements, such as some tree loss, or the loss of on-street parking. Please take a few moments to complete our survey and help the project team understand what matters most to you.

    The survey will be open through the end of Monday, April 19.

    Herbert Street boulevard considerations

    The streetscape on Herbert will not change a lot, although it will be brought up to new standards. The road will be narrowed so that the new sidewalks can be the required width of 1.5 metres. One possible change we would like your feedback on concerns the boulevard space between the curb and sidewalk. The design drawings (Please note that the technical design drawings document is not accessible. If you require this information in an alternate format, please contact our project team) currently show this space as being finished in concrete, since our experience has been that maintaining attractive natural landscaping in narrow boulevards can be difficult. However, this change is not mandatory and we would like to know whether residents would prefer concrete, or for it to remain as a space for grass or other landscaping (in accordance with city by-laws). This survey will remain open until December 17, 2021.
