The Region of Waterloo is hosting an in-person public meeting to share its preferred alternative for roundabouts proposed near St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School.
The project team has established a preferred option that includes roundabouts at two intersections, and a pedestrian pathway that will run under Franklin Boulevard.
The meeting will feature a brief presentation about how they got to this decision, and why.
After reviewing and evaluating numerous alternatives, the project team arrived at the preferred alternative of a roundabout at Franklin Blvd./Can-Amear Pkwy. and at Franklin Blvd./Saginaw Pkwy. – Elgin St.
The design at Franklin Blvd./Saginaw Pkwy. – Elgin St. would include a grade-separated pedestrian pathway on the north side only, with the remaining three legs being typical at-grade crossings. The proposed plan also includes a planned City of Cambridge roundabout at Saginaw Parkway and Green Vista Drive.
The meeting is being held at St. Benedict on April 25 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The 7 p.m. presentation will be followed by an open house, where residents can ask questions of the project team.
