As part of Segment 8 construction and with the removal of the Algonquin overpass, a dedicated, signalized snowmobile and pedestrian crossing will be added on Algonquin Blvd. E. from Hollinger Park to 536 Algonquin Blvd. E. (west of Esso).
The crossing will operate with a standard red, yellow, and green traffic light cycle that starts on-demand when prompted by a pedestrian or snowmobile rider. The crossing for pedestrians and snowmobiles are separated for safety, flanking either side of the east entrance to KFC. Each crossing will be clearly marked, with separate crossing signals.
During construction, Algonquin Blvd. E. will be reduced to one lane in each direction at the point of construction while crews install conduits, pole installation, electrical infrastructure, and line painting.
