Intersection Improvements: Fairbairn Street and Towerhill Road / Lily Lake Road

What’s Happening:

The City of Peterborough is undertaking an intersection improvement project at the intersection of Fairbairn Street and Towerhill Road / Lily Lake Road. This project is being developed to improve vehicular, pedestrian, and cycling accessibility.

The general scope of this project is to:

• Install traffic signals to improve the functionality of the intersection;
• Implement dedicated turn lanes at the signalized intersection to improve vehicular traffic flow;
• Improve the roadway geometry on the approaches to the intersection; and,
• Improve pedestrian and cyclist access along Lily Lake Road by providing an off-street multi-use trail on the south side of Lily Lake Road from York Drive to the subject intersection.

Project Schedule:

This project is planned to be constructed in multiple phases, with the anticipated phasing as follows, subject to funding approvals:

• Phase 1 (2025): Preliminary Design and Utility Coordination.
• Phase 2 (2026): Detailed Design, Property Acquisitions and Utility Relocations.
• Phase 3 (2027): Construction.

Please note that the phasing details outlined above are only estimates, pending and are subject to change based on the progress of the project.
