Lambeth Villager June 2024

An update from Anna Hopkins Our Ward 9 City Councillor Ward 9 Construction It seems like it never ends when it comes to road construction. How- ever, as we commit to the Provincial Province to build 47,000 units within the next eight years, we must upgrade our roads and provide opportunities to move around. Infrastructure projects always lag far behind the need. Here are two major projects that you can expect this season:

190 Wortley Rd. Martial Arts and Wellness Programs in the Heart of Wortley Village Colonel Talbot Road Two-Lane Upgrade This project will begin in May and be constructed over two years (2024-2025), with completion expected in 2026. The project will be designed to provide choices in how residents move around and to provide road safety for all users. The limits of this project are from Southdale Rd. to James Street. You can expect to see the installation of sidewalks, streetlights, bike lanes and curbs with sewers to accommodate future development. Also, additional left turn lanes will be added to improve traffic operations at specific locations, along with future-ready traffic signals at Kilbourne and Royal Magnolia/Diane. Traffic signals will be installed once these intersections meet provincial warrants. Construction will start at James Street and move to Clayton Walk, which will require the full closure of Colonel Talbot due to the limited road width. Oxford Street W. and Gideon Dr. Roundabout This project is also expected to begin in May, with construction completed in November 2024 and final completion in May/June 2025. Key features of this project will be pedestrian crossings, bike lanes, and sidewalks, upgrades to water main/sewers, landscaping, and light- ing. You can expect east and west traffic on Oxford Street to be maintained, but Kains Road and Gideon Drive will be closed. Look out for detours as construction gets underway. During the construction, we’ll implement temporary traffic calming measures in the surround- ing neighbourhoods to manage cut-through traffic. A comprehensive traffic management plan will be in place, which will be communicated, monitored, and adjusted as needed. We under - stand the importance of maintaining access to homes and businesses, and detours will be set up during the road closures. If you have any further information or concerns, please contact 519-661-4580 or email trafficcalming@london.ca.
