Summary: The Region of Waterloo is planning roadway improvements on Fountain Street North (Regional Road 17) between King Street and Cherry Blossom Road in the City of Cambridge (refer to the Key Plan in Appendix “A”). Due to the age and condition of the pavement on Fountain Street North, it is necessary to completely reconstruct the existing road structure. The timing of this Project presents an opportunity to address other deficiencies along this road. These deficiencies include a lack of cycling lanes and a lack of continuous sidewalks within the Project limits. The Fountain Street North Improvements Project is classified as a Schedule A+ undertaking in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment planning process and is pre-approved to proceed to construction provided that appropriate public consultation is conducted. While both the Regional Transportation Master Plan, 2011, and the East Side Stage 1 Transportation Assessment, 2013, maintain Fountain Street North between King Street and Cherry Blossom Road as a two-lane road, there are discontinuous pedestrian facilities and no cycling facilities on this section of Fountain Street and accordingly, the Project Team considered new sidewalk and an on-road cycling lane on both sides of Fountain Street to enhance the pedestrian and cyclists environments. The Project Team hosted a Public Consultation Centre (PCC) on December 4, 2013 at which approximately 30 residents attended. The Project Team presented the public with the following improvements to address the road condition and the deficiencies in the cycling and pedestrian facilities: complete road reconstruction with new concrete curb and asphalt roadway surface; on-road cycling lanes; retention of the existing sidewalk on the east side including new sidewalk between Marmel Court and Cherry Blossom Road; retention of the existing sidewalk on the west side including new sidewalk between Jacob Street and Cherry Blossom Road; and upgrades to Grand River Transit bus stops. Appendix “B” shows the cross-section for the improvements for consideration presented at the PCC. The PCC generated six emails and one comment sheet submitted from the public.
