Public access to the Queensview pedestrian bridge is tied to \u0022revenue service\u0022 for Stage 2 of LRT, not expected until late 2026.
Activate your Online Access NowOn the weekend of July 29-30, the Queensway was shut down between Woodroffe Avenue and Greenbank Road while a pedestrian bridge spanning the highway was built. The bridge is part of the LRT’s Stage 2 west extension, providing a link between Queensview Station, still under construction on the north side of the Queensway, and Baxter Road on the south side.That’s good, says Kathy Vandergrift, president of the Queenview Terrace North Community Association.
“They tend to treat all of it as one project,” she says. “Could they schedule things progressively? The mindset is that these things have one finish date. It’s all designed from a system perspective.” Big changes are coming to the neighbourhood in the form of intensification and applications to build condo towers. A secondary plan is to be released this fall.
On the south side of the Queensway, a sidewalk will be built on one side of Baxter Road, with a cycling facility from Iris Street along Baxter Road to the new bridge. Not opening the bridge for another three years is another example of how P3 agreements do not benefit the general public, Robertson says.
