Question
Does this designation imply widening Centennial from 2 lanes to 4? Is this necessary?
Question
The Front Rd corridor has been functioning as a two-lane road (due to construction) for most of the period since 2018 or earlier. Apart from some short-lived congestion at pm peak hour, traffic flows reasonably well. Has there been consideration of leaving it as a two-lane road, potentially with some intersection capacity improvements or targeted queue jump lanes from transit? Does it need to remain a four-lane corridor?
Comment
Related to other comments, this elevates Johnson/Brock -- two roads with residential character bisecting local neighbourhoods -- to being the only two arterial roads leading to downtown Kingston (other than Hwy 2 to the east). Princess, Division, and Montreal are all reclassified as collectors.
Comment
How does this differ from an AT/Transit Mobility Corridor?
Comment
Is this meant to be the same as the AT/Transit Mobility Corridor shown on the Proposed Typology map? If so, where is the AT?
Comment
Johnson/Brock routing has the disadvantage of pulling transit away from the diagonal axis (most direct route), away from commercial activity in the Williamsville area, and elevating Johnson/Brock to a higher-order road classification than Princess. (See also my other comments re: typology assigned to Johnson/Brock)
Question
Could we look closer at Brock and Johnson? These are classified as AT/Transit Mobility corridors and identified for higher order transit. While I'm not fundamentally opposed to higher-order transit on these streets, their character is quite different than other streets with the same typology -- for example Front Rd and Centennial Dr.

Brock and Johnson are currently traffic sewers (for lack of a better term) running through the middle of a residential neighbourhood. Elementary school catchment areas for Winston Churchill and Rideau extend across both sides of these streets. Like other one-way couplets, traffic moves fast and in platoons, creating regular bursts of noise. They are unpleasant streets to walk along, unsafe for elementary-school-aged children to cross on their own, and even though there is a cycling facility, it is much more comfortable to ride on Earl or Mack.

I am struggling to reconcile how a prototypical cross-section with four lanes (two bus + two general purpose) and a 27 m ROW would fit into these corridors. I am concerned that the proposed typology and cross-section will be detrimental to pedestrian and cycling safety and comfort on these streets, and that it will cause the corridors to become even greater barriers to north-south mobility within these central neigbourhoods.

I would like to see serious consideration of converting Brock and Johnson to two-way operations, which would have the effect of reducing travel speeds and improving walkability, and could still be compatible with frequent transit operations.
Question
Downtown Princess, Could we Designate one side of the road for deliveries? When going downtown, I need to switch lanes several times to avoid delivery trucks and cars.
Question
Could we connect public transit to the YGK Airport?
Comment
A bike lane along Princess would be great and would make getting Downtown much easier. Thank you for proposing it.
Question
Could we create a recreational bike pathway in Lemoine Point Conservation area and Lemoine Point Farm that people could cycle to and cycle through the forest?
Question
What is the strategy for cyclists riding through Portsmouth Village? Lots of people would use Front Rd. / King St. for cycling but the pathway is broken at Portsmouth.
Question
Could we create a marked bike lane for cyclists leaving downtown that connects to Brock Street? Brock is very busy downtown and there are no bike marking until you get to Division
Question
Could we create a paved should on Bath Road, South Side near Gardiners towards Collins Bay Farm? There are driveway curbs extending to the edge of the road and it pushes cyclist into the roadway.

Here is a google maps link: link
Comment
Thank you for providing a paved shoulder on Taylor Kidd Blvd. past Collins Bay. It is a dangerous stretch of road with cars going very fast.
in reply to SB's comment
Comment
Running a trail next to the tracks would also be feasible even while the the spur is still active.
Comment
The target for active transport should be some increase downtown. There are still many barriers to its use that if removed would not doubt result in an increase.
Comment
Sydenham Rd. corridor particularly north of Hwy 401, is a undeveloped corridor with transit, pedestrian and cycling potential. In particular Sunnyside Medical Clinic and the Muslim mosque have no transit connectivity and are huge draws. There's a lot of community development in that area also which is a justification for consideration.
Comment
Seems to me that Centennial Drive may be a missed opportunity. It's underserviced by transit and could be potential for pedestrian and cycling networks.
Comment
This plan is offers stellar improvements for downtown. The only thing lacking is a safe option for north-south travel. A few options have been proposed by other previous plans, including building on Alfred St and Patrick St. Is there any reason neither of these past options are being proposed?

I would argue that Barrie St is the strongest option for north-south connections. This bridges the gap left on Division St and connects residential neighbourhoods to Queen's, KGH, the waterfront, and the new proposed routes on Johnson/Brock.
Question
Yes. This intersection is treacherous for pedestrians and other non-motorists. Particularly scary given the high number of youth and older adults who cross this intersection so frequently. Possible to get rid of the slip lanes?
Comment
Yes, this is critically needed.
Comment
A multi-use pathway along Sir John A MacDonald Boulevard would offer tremendous benefit to many Kingston residents. A sidewalk is simply not enough. This corridor is critical to accessing various key destinations, such as the Kingston Centre, LCVI/Calvin Park, YMCA, Calvin Park Library, and Queen's West Campus. It is also a critical corridor for residents in many neighbourhoods, including Strathcona, Grenville Park, Calvin Park, Portsmouth, Williamsville, and Alwington, to access other areas of the city, such as Queen's and downtown.
Question
Why are the transit targets so low for East Kingston?
Comment
Sydenham Rd needs a safer shoulder between the 401 and Unity
The other proposed shoulders are good as well
Comment
Definitely need a protected bike lane on Division between John Counter and the 401, and on Princess West of Bath Road
Question
With the opening of Lyons Street, I have noticed a large increase in vehicles using the Macdonnell Street merge onto Concession as a shortcut from John Counter to westbound Princess. Neighbourhood streets are now commuter lanes. Any plans to calm the traffic through these areas, especially at the Leroy Grant/Concession intersection?
Comment
There is already a cycle/pedestrian way along the Leroy Grant corridor. If there is a plan to create a roadway through there the traffic flow will increase ten fold. The Leroy Grant/Concession intersection already has a high traffic flow (with no pedestrian crossing) so this proposal will extremely exacerbate the situation. The proposed roadway makes sense but there had better be a lot of thought on how to calm the traffic and make it safe for pedestrians and cyclists.
Question
Given the increased traffic due to the Princess St. construction on Concession Street, why is there no proposed regulated crossing at Leroy Grant (both westbound and especially eastbound)? There used to be a crosswalk on the westbound lanes but it was taken away during the last modification. Why?
Question
Given the detour routes for #4 and #502 westbound, shouldn't there be a temporary (at least) crosswalk at the Regent/Princess Streets intersection for pedestrians wanting to get to the north side of Princess Street (i.e. going to Giant Tiger)? Directional signage at the Regent/Park drop-off would be helpful.
Comment
A connection of the south of Gardiners to Day should be shown
Comment
An extension of Centennial from Bath to Front should be shown
Comment
Pedestrian and cycle connections through the Novelis property should be considered and potential sought in advance of full development to connect the neighbourhoods and nearby schools
Hwy 2 is a popular cycle route and separate lanes should be considered as vehicular speeds are very high
Comment
Middle Rd is a popular cycle route and separate lanes should be considered as vehicular speeds are very high
Comment
The Unity Rd unopened road allowance should be protected to potentially have a pedestrian/cycle bridge over the Rideau which would connect with Isle of Man. This is the only potential spot for this to be possible in the City as it is the narrowest point of the canal and would create the opportunity for connections to both sides of the City. A connection to Aragon would be ideal also.
Comment
Connections should be considered from the CWD extension to Dalton, such as a boardwalk design
Comment
McIvor should be a separated bike track / MUP
Comment
This separation should be a more permanent structure, such as a poured curb.
Comment
As sections of Johnson are developed and driveways removed, this biek lane should be fully separated from the roadway
Comment
A trail along the east side of Little Cat Creek should be explored with the Feds.
Comment
Options to connect the K&P trail to Little Cat Conservation area should be explored
Comment
A waterfront trail should be shown between Gord Downie pier all the way to the Pen. Although multiple properties are in private ownership, if would be identified if any are redeveloped.
Comment
The rail spur should be protected for a future trail
Comment
A connection from the south end of Gardiners should be shown to connect to Days Road.
Comment
This spur line should be shown as a future trail connection in all documents to ensure it is protected for this use if its use for rail stops.
This would be a very welcome connection from Westbrook towards the Woodhaven neighbourhood, and could be of a boardwalk design
Comment
These MUP should be on both sides and it ensured that they are fully and safely separated from the roadway
Comment
MUP should be designed around the whole of the Kingston Centre triangle on the interior side, similar to the section next to the new Canadian Tire. This is a key area and having this around the old Canadian Tire site would be very important
Comment
The Parkway & Princess intersection needs improved pedestrian crossing points. At present pedestrians are in unsafe locations.
