This project supports the Region of Waterloo's strategic focus area(s):

Photo showing the existing layout of Myers RoadThe Region of Waterloo is working to improve Myers Road from Water Street to Branchton Road, in the City of Cambridge.

This project will:

  • Address the deteriorated pavement condition.
  • Urbanize the corridor with storm sewer and curbs to improve drainage and help reduce traffic speeds.
  • Improve cycling and pedestrian facilities.

Engagement
The first public engagement (Public Consultation Centre) for this project was held in April 2019, at which time we presented a preferred design and asked for public input. At the second public meeting in 2021, we shared the preferred design concept for Myers Road based on feedback received from the first public consultation. The Information Package and drawings showing the Preferred Design Concept are available in the Document Library.

    Earlier this year, we reached out to get your input on the proposed interim improvements on Myers Road including:

    • Constructing a pedestrian/cycling ramp to connect Myers Road to California Road.
    • Adding raised pedestrian crossings just east of Lorraine Drive at the existing traffic signal, and in front of Moffat Creek School.
    • Adding a pedestrian crossing at Gatehouse Road/Lisbon Pines Drive.


    Regional Council approved these improvements in April 2023, and a tender was issued following Council approval. Unfortunately, no bids were received. Staff has spoken with prospective bidders and concluded that the work could not be done in 2023, so no construction will take place this year. Staff is reviewing possible options for 2024 and will provide an update once we’ve completed this review.
