An update from Anna Hopkins Our Ward 9 City Councillor
Road. This is a multi-year project, with the City currently securing property easements and planning ways to reduce traffic disruptions. To help minimize impacts, construction is expected to be spread over three seasons. Pre-construction work, including utility relocations and potential tree removals, will take place this year, with the main construction contract anticipated to begin in spring 2027. A public update meeting is being planned for March 2026. More information can be found at the City’s Get Involved website at getinvolved.london.ca. Pothole Season As snow melts, potholes inevitably appear. If you notice damage on your street, please contact Public Services at service@london. ca, 519-661-4570 (office hours), or 519-661-4965 (after hours). Looking ahead, 2026 will also see continued investment in rapid transit and active transportation, helping better connect neighbourhoods and support sustainable travel across London. On Sunday, March 8, we celebrate International Women’s Day and honour the strength, resilience and leadership of women who shape our community, our families and our future. As always, I welcome your thoughts and feedback. You can reach me at ahopkins@london.ca or visit www.annahopkins.ca to sign up for my newsletter. Take care of one another,
Potholes and Major Construction Updates After a long winter, March brings the promise of warmer days—and with it, a renewed focus on our road infrastructure. I want to share updates on two major construction projects coming to Ward 9, as well as what residents can expect during pothole season.
As a Candidate for W will be a number of co constituents.
