The City of London is planning construction work on Boler Road this year to install a new two-way cycle track on the east side of Boler Road and to replace the aging watermain that is approaching its expected lifecycle.
Above: The map above identifies the approximate limits of the construction project area. Work is planned on Boler Road from Commissioners Road to Southdale Road.
If you require any special accommodation in accessing the project information or online material, please contact the City project manager listed below, and we will work together to best share the information with you.
- Add a two-way separated cycling facility on the east boulevard, between Commissioners and Southdale.
