Installation for Peterborough Transit Terminal public art project underway

Peterborough, ON – Crews have begun installing a public art project at the Peterborough Transit Terminal.  

Installation is scheduled to take place over the next four weeks between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday to Friday. 

The work will be done in sections beginning at the terminal’s west end, moving through bays toward the east end.  

To accommodate the installation, up to two transit bays will be closed at a time. Bus routes that normally use those bays will be temporarily relocated to stops on Simcoe Street until work in that area is complete. 

Equipment, including machinery, will be on site throughout the installation. Transit users are reminded to follow any posted signage in place.  

The Peterborough Transit customer service desk will remain open. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9 a.m. to noon and 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.  

The selected artist and final design will be formally recognized during a celebration in the fall.  

About the Project 

The Simcoe Street Transit Terminal Public Art Project is part of the City’s ongoing investment in public art and placemaking. With a project budget of $100,000, the commissioned artwork will be integrated into the exterior of the transit terminal, enhancing the space through creative expression and community storytelling. 

This project is funded through a combination of municipal investment and support from the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP), as part of the broader Simcoe Street Transit Terminal rehabilitation project.
