Public input sought in Sherbrooke Street roadway reconstruction project

The project will include adding a centre turning lane, improving grading and sightlines, building sidewalks, as well as enhancing pedestrian and cycling amenities in a key corridor that connects the west end of the City to the downtown. 

Residents are invited to view the project scope and plans, additional project information and resources, and submit questions and feedback through the interactive features on the City’s community engagement hub at connectptbo.ca/sherbrooke. 

The general goals of this project are to: 

• Improve traffic flow by constructing a centre two-way left-turn lane; 

• Improve the grading and sightlines for users travelling over the hill on Sherbrooke Street near Hywood Road;

• Improve access to commercial and residential properties within the corridor; 

• Add/improve pedestrian and cycling facilities, including the implementation of protected intersections and in-boulevard cycle tracks on both the north and south sides of the roadway. The Ontario Traffic Council's Protected Intersection Guidelines introduction is available in the "Documents and Drawings" section of the Connect Peterborough project page for more information regarding protected intersections.  

With the information that is collected through the Connect Peterborough question and comment engagement tool, the project team will review and consider all feedback and implement changes to the project plans where feasible. The feedback period will close in November 2025.
