Cambridge - Myers Road Reconstruction

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

The Region of Waterloo is currently considering improvements to 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; and
• Improve cycling and pedestrian facilities.

The first Public Consultation Centre (PCC) for the reconstruction of Myers Road from Water Street to Branchton Road was held in April 2019. This second virtual PCC outlines the changes made to the preferred design concept for Myers Road based on feedback received through PCC #1. The public is invited to review the updated design being considered for this project, ask questions, and provide input regarding the planning and design of the improvements being considered.

The preferred design includes:

• Full reconstruction of the pavement structure;
• Installation of new storm sewers;
• New curb and gutter;
• Multi-use trails on both sides along the full length of the roadway;
• A pedestrian and cycling connection from Myers Road to California Road;
• Installation of additional left turn lanes at select intersections;
• Improved pedestrian crossing facilities;
• Watermain replacement between Woodland Drive and Lorraine Drive; and
• New sanitary sewer from 108 Myers Road to 124 Myers Road.

Please refer to the Document Library to read the Information Package and review drawings showing the Preferred Design Concept.
