The Region of Peel has a major project upcoming on Dixie Road @ Williams Pkwy commencing November 1, 2024 anticipated to last until January 1, 2026. Eastbound and Westbound traffic will be shifted into the westbound lanes & reduced to one lane in each direction for the duration of the project. The south pedestrian crossing at the intersection will be closed – transit stops will be accommodated and relocated as necessary.
Project Overview
The Williams Parkway Redesign is focused on delivering a complete street experience for residents. This means the design and operation of our streets will provide for the needs of users of all ages and abilities, including pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and drivers.
Signal timings will be adjusted in real-time to increase green times where needed and thus reducing the overall congestion on Williams Parkway. The system will be designed to enhanced transit signal priority and will aim to prioritize vulnerable road users to improve mobility for all road users.
The goal for the Williams Parkway redesign is to provide streets for people – a safe and comfortable street experience that provides options for multiple modes of transportation with environmentally friendly features such as trees and enhanced landscaping.
Redesign of Williams Parkway includes the following:
- Four general purpose lanes
- Resurfacing of the existing road
- Center median planting
- Active Transportation Pedestrian Crosswalk
- Installation of a multi-use path on both sides of the road
- Enhanced streetscaping in the boulevards
The detailed design of Williams Parkway improvements is closed to completion. The City is coordinating the project with the Region of Peel’s watermain project along the corridor and aiming to implement both the projects as a single tender to minimize disturbance to road users. Construction is expected commence by spring of 2025.
City staff are working collaboratively with the Region of Peel staff and will provide project updates for the duration of the Project.
