About this project

Southdale Road West is a Civic Boulevard that transports many Londoners every day. The road already experiences significant traffic delays, a challenge that is expected to increase with new and future developments in the area, including the recently built Bostwick Community Centre.

This project was studied in a 2019 Environmental Assessment that looked at solving the above challenges, identifying solutions that accommodate all road users, and supporting future development in the area.

The Environmental Assessment looked at solving the above challenges by studying road improvements for Southdale Road West between Pine Valley Boulevard and Colonel Talbot Road. This study also looked at road enhancements to Bostwick Road from Southdale Road West to Pack Road to support future development in that region.

The 2030 Transportation Master Plan prioritized road improvements to Southdale Road West and Bostwick Road to address future growth and accommodate all roadway users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.
