The City of Timmins, Public Works Dept., wishes to advise the public of scheduled road infrastructure enhancements happening on Ross Ave. at the intersection of Toke St. Work has begun to extend the curbs and install a raised median as part of improvements to the community safety zone area on Ross Ave.
A curb extension narrows the road section, helping to regulate and reduce traffic speeds. There is no impact to the existing pedestrian crossing. The addition of the curb extensions and raised median creates a safe space for pedestrians and improves visibility. As a result, reduction of the four lanes east of the Toke intersection will start further back on Ross Ave.
Work will require temporary lane reductions. Once complete, a dedicated left-turn lane for westbound traffic will be available for Toke St.
Bylaw 2025-9107 was approved on April 8, 2025 to create a Community Safety Zone on Ross Ave. from Patricia Blvd. to Hwy. 655. A Community Safety Zone is a designated section of roadway where public safety is a top priority.
