Route 90 Renewal & Chief Peguis Trail Extension

Route 90 Renewal & Chief Peguis Trail Extension

• Route 90 renewal: It's been a bottleneck for years and a top issue for commuters

• Chief Peguis Trail extension: Designed to improve east-west traffic flow and take pressure off other routes.

  $20M for Route 90 design work + $7M for Route 90 and Chief Peguis Trail property acquisition

•  Scope: Full renewal between Taylor Ave and Ness Ave, including St. James Bridges replacement, transit + active transportation upgrades, connecting east/west neighborhoods

•  Cost: Class 3 estimate is $613.9M + $143.4M in construction interest if authorized by Q1 2027. Says external funding will reduce city debt costs.

•  Funding strategy: Asking province/feds for cost-sharing. Got $800K from Province for Kenaston Blvd design study as part of broader Route 90 corridor work.

•  Rationale: Calls it essential for Naawi-Oodena development, inland port, Waverley West growth. “Renew the existing roadway and bridge, enhance transit and active transportation, remove the bottleneck”
