West Brant Access Route
We’re working to reduce congestion in the city, including a new road connection and improvements to Colborne Street West and we want your feedback before a recommended design is selected.
What’s this project about? 
The City is working on two connected studies to improve travel in West Brant:
- West Brant Access Route: a new road connection between Hardy Road and Colborne Street West (about 3.4 km)
- Colborne Street West: transportation and design improvements from County Road 7 to D’Aubigny Road (about 1.2 km)
These studies are happening at the same time because they are close together and connected.
Work is continuing in 2026 to compare design options, understand possible impacts, and identify a recommended design.
