Greenlane Road Reconstruction with Multi-Use Pathway

Project Location

Greenlane Road (Lincoln Avenue to Cedarbrook Lane)

Project Background

In 2022, Greenlane was originally planned to be reconstructed between Lincoln Avenue and King Street, including a new multi-use pathway (MUP). Other infrastructure needs have since been identified on Greenlane, including watermain replacement, creek erosion repairs, bridge replacement at Konkle Creek and safe Active Transportation connections. This has forced a shift in priority to the road section to the east between Lincoln Avenue and Cedarbrook Lane. Therefore, it is now proposed that these other identified infrastructure needs be addressed under Phase 1A in 2025 and that the previously identified works on Greenlane be deferred to a later date under a future second Phase 1B, given the cost and scale of the overall project.

Proposed Construction Improvements

  • Separate cycling and pedestrian facilities in an in-boulevard multi-use path
  • Existing culverts will be extended and rehabilitated as necessary
  • Streetlighting improvements
  • Road widening
  • New road surface
  • Traffic calming measures
  • Connectivity to the new West Niagara Secondary School and the Konkle Creek Trail

The project will align with several of the Town's plans, including:

Phase 1A - 2025

Phase 1A includes reconstructing the section of Greenlane from Lincoln Avenue to Cedarbrook Lane to an urban standard, including new storm sewers, curb and gutter, a multi-use pathway, sidewalk and large culvert replacements. The Town’s local watermain along with the regional transmission watermain will also be replaced from Lincoln Avenue to Ontario Street.

Project Update

The design for phase 1A is 90% complete. The project team is finalizing the plans and contract documents and aims to go to public tender in November 2024.

What to Expect Next

The Town will hold a Public Meeting to provide the community with an opportunity to view the final design plans and provide feedback in late September. Another notice will be mailed to residents, providing specific dates, times, and instructions on how they can get involved in the project.

We Need Your Input

Please contact Jemma Lynch by emailing jlynch@lincoln.ca or 905-563-2799 ext. 264 to coordinate a meeting if you:

  • Have your sump pump discharging to the ditch.
  • Have any irrigation in the Town’s right of way.

Phase 1B

Phase 1B of the project involves widening and reconstructing the rural section of Greenlane from Lincoln Avenue to King Street. This portion of Greenlane has been identified for road improvements and links with the District School Board of Niagara's new West Niagara Secondary School on King Street. This road improvement will provide community connectivity and promote active transportation. More information will be provided regarding Phase 1B as it becomes available.

    Thank you for your question. The Public Information Centre today, September 19, will be drop-in to view material and ask questions. There will be no presentation. 

  • Share Nowhere in the proposal does it identify the current speeding from motorist. With the plans on the table what will be the new speed limit?, currently speeding is a huge problem on this part of greenlane road and Niagara Regional police do not seem to respond to the needs of the residents. The police have been called several times, and in once case it took them 4 months to respond and they came out and monitored the speed of motorist for only an hour. There is a serious need for the speed to be reduced to 40 km an hour even with the new proposed path for pedestrians. on Facebook Share Nowhere in the proposal does it identify the current speeding from motorist.

    Jamie Cooling asked over 2 years ago

    Thank You for your inquiry.  With the current design, the speed will remain at 50km/hr as Greenlane is considered a collector.  Traffic calming measures will be implemented as part of our design to slow traffic down.

    Thank you for your inquiry.  The project is planned for construction to commence in 2022.  Staff will look at the condition of the culvert. 

  • Share How will the project link up to the Konkle Creek pathway? While not part of the project, the road from Cedarbrook to past the main Sobeys entrance has been a disgrace since the Utopia Condo project started roughly two years ago.

    John asked over 2 years ago

    Thank you for your question; the connection to Konkle Creek Pathway will be part of the phase two works along with the regional water main and storm sewer; we will have an interim solution to connect the Konkle path to the MUP.   The road from Lincoln to Ontario will be reconstructed as part of the phase two works.
