Oxford Street West Environmental Assessment

About this project

The City of London has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for improvements to Oxford Street West, from Westdel Bourne to Sanatorium Road.

This study builds on the City’s 2030 Transportation Master Plan and Cycling Master Plan to develop and review options to widen Oxford Street West from two to four lanes, improve intersection operations including consideration of roundabouts, and improve pedestrian and cycling facilities through the corridor. The potential need to widen the Thames River Bridge will also be reviewed.

In identifying improvements, the study will consider socio-economic, cultural heritage and natural environment factors as well as technical requirements and aesthetics.

The final Environmental Study Report with recommendations will be available for the 30-day public review period from September 12, 2024 to October 12, 2024.

Past public meetings:

The second Public Information Centre (PIC #2) was held on December 6, 2023, at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School to present design alternatives for the road cross section, intersections, and the Thames River Bridge, the evaluation of design alternatives, the preliminary preferred plan, and next steps in the study.

The PIC display materials, preliminary preferred plan (page 1), preliminary preferred plan (page 2), and a recording of the presentation is posted on this webpage.

The City recognizes that not everyone will be able to attend the open house or access the information online. If you require special accommodation to access the project information or online material, please contact the City Project Manager Erik Guil, and we will work together to share the information with you.
