Adelaide Street Underpass Active Transportation Connections

in progress

Under Construction

• The Adelaide Street Underpass Active Transportation Connections Project (the Project), which is a component of the broader Adelaide Street Underpass Project, will construct approximately 250m of four-metre wide multi-use paths on both sides (500m total) of Adelaide Street which will run under a Canadian Pacific Rail (CPR) bridge, in London (Ontario). • The Project will also construct approximately 700m of cycling and pedestrian connections to the north and south of the underpass on Central Avenue, McMahen Street and Pall Mall Street. It will also construct a new pumping station and relocate a utility corridor, including watermain, storm water and wastewater pipes. The Project aligns with the City of London’s Smart Moves 2030 Transportation, the City of London Plan, and has been identified as highest priority grade crossing in the city. • Currently, Adelaide Street crosses two tracks at-grade directly adjacent to a CPR yard on the eastern side of the intersection. The crossing is frequently blocked by trains from the CPR yard, with a daily average of 20 road blockages that last about 4.6 minutes each. These blockages delay all users of the corridor including pedestrians, cyclists and transit users. • The Project will facilitate active transit that provides a first-mile/last-mile connection to bus stops on Adelaide street and to future bus rapid transit on Oxford Street.
