Changes Are Coming to The Credit Woodlands This Summer

This is the City’s third tactical urbanism project and will focus on the stretch of the Credit Woodlands surrounding Bert Fleming Park, extending to the roadways in front of Springfield Public School and St. Gerard Separate School. This pilot project focuses on transforming sections of the street to increase safety for vulnerable road users, like pedestrians and cyclists, and improve access to Bert Fleming Park. Plans for the space include:

• Traffic calming measures including piloting a new traffic flow around Bert Fleming Park
• Vibrant designs on the roadway in front of the two schools
• Transformed streets where a section of the roadway is replaced with a car-free community plaza space that will provide space for things like seating and community activities

During the community engagement process, two options (option one and option two ) for the forthcoming Sharing Lanes project on The Credit Woodlands were shown. Based on public response, the City is proceeding with the second option. Over the coming weeks, you’ll see the project start to come to life. Project installation is starting July 2023.

City staff will be:

• Removing traffic islands and changing the traffic flow around Bert Fleming Park
• Installing new pedestrian crossings that connect to Bert Fleming Park
• Installing two new all way stop intersections on the southeast side of Bert Fleming Park
• Adding road murals and art to the pedestrian boulevard space

Installation is expected to be completed this summer. When you’re traveling through this area during installation, please remember to adhere to all site signs and barricades and to be respectful and give staff space as they work.
