Notice of Completion - Kennedy Road

Kennedy Road from Bonnieglen Farm Boulevard to Old School Road

The Town of Caledon is planning for improvements to Kennedy Road from Bonnieglen Farm Boulevard to Old School Road to address growth related demands on Town infrastructure. A Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) was completed in April 2019 to evaluate improvements for this section of Kennedy Road that support future land uses and enhance road safety for all road users. The preferred alternative identified in the EA for Kennedy Road improvements included a two-lane road with curb and gutter (Urban Reconstruction) and paved shoulders to be shared by both cyclists and pedestrians. The existing sidewalk in front of Tony Pontes Public School was to be retained but not extended to Old School Road.

A minor adjustment to the preferred alternative identified in the EA includes a change from shared on-road paved shoulders for cycling and pedestrians to a continuous 3.0 m wide off-road paved multi-use trail on the west side of Kennedy Road constructed within the limits of the existing right-of-way. The existing sidewalk in front of Tony Pontes Public School will remain. The pavement width of Kennedy Road will be reduced to exclude the paved shoulders and provide two wider 3.3 m traffic lanes with curb and gutter. The adjustment meets existing road standards and improves the safety of pedestrians and cyclists using the off-road facility, while supporting active transportation and accessibility along the corridor for a wider range of users.
