Lambeth Neighbourhood Connectivity Plan
As part of its commitment to providing safe, convenient and accessible mobility choices for all residents, City Council has directed staff to develop a “Neighbourhood Connectivity Plan” for the Lambeth area. The plan will identify where new sidewalks can provide the most value.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit feedback at the in-person event on June 10, as well as by phone, email, and online over the summer. The City hosted an online webinar on June 12 at 12noon. A recording can be viewed online here.
City staff will be bringing a report to City Council’s Community and Protective Services Committee on November 10, 2025, with recommendations on where new sidewalks should be implemented in your neighbourhood.
The recommendations are now posted below to provide time for residents to review and decide whether they wish to provide further comment through the public participation meeting (PPM) process at the November 10 meeting.

How to join the public participation meeting (PPM)
The November 10 meeting includes a public participation meeting (PPM) component, meaning you can speak directly to the Community and Protective Services Committee at this meeting, or email comments to the City Clerk’s Office in advance to have them included in the Community and Protective Services Committee agenda.
You can also participate remotely, by preregistering through the Clerk’s Office. For detailed information on the PPM process, visit the City of London website at this link. The committee meeting will also be available to livestream on the City of London’s YouTube channel.
What happens after City Council’s decision?
Following Community and Protective Services Committee, Council will meet on November 25 to give final direction on the staff recommendations. When it’s time to construct sidewalks where they have been approved, staff would then return to consult with those residents, with a focus on finding the best fit for the street and helping residents understand the design considerations available to maximize the benefits and mitigate impacts of adding a new sidewalk.
Please contact us at ncp@london.ca if you have any questions about next steps.
