Charlotte Street West Streetscape Project

The City of Peterborough is developing conceptual designs for Charlotte Street between Park Street North and Aylmer Street North. The goal is to create a safer, more vibrant streetscape that benefits everyone.

This work builds upon past investigation and consultation work for Charlotte Street, incorporating new guidance from updated national and provincial transportation standards; recently approved City of Peterborough planning documents, including the Official Plan, Transportation Master Plan, and Central Area Urban Design Guidelines, and, stakeholder consultation activities.

The goals of the project are to:

• Integrate multi-modal transportation options (walking and rolling, cycling, transit, and driving);
• Support sustainable, efficient, and accessible travel for all ages and abilities;
• Balance space needs for deliveries, loading, and parking for mixed travel types;
• Strengthen user experience and economic growth with improved amenities and wayfinding; and,
• Encourage downtown activity through placemaking and urban design.

The Project Study Area extends from Park Street North to Aylmer Street North, as seen in the image below.

This project was initiated following recommendations of Council as outlined in Report IPSACP23-018 - Charlotte Street (Aylmer Street to Park Street) Update. This project will result in a conceptual streetscape design recommendation so that a plan is in place to proceed with the detailed design phase of the project.
