McIntosh Drive and Hocking Avenue Multi-use Pathway and Road Upgrades
This project began in October 2025, and is now substantially complete.
This project was part of the active transportation design project which focuses on improving cycling facilities, creating new routes and road safety.
Project Details
This project primarily consists of a multi-use pathway that connects the Valley Rail Trail to Edward Street tunnel. The multi-use pathway and road upgrades on Hocking Avenue (south side) and McIntosh Drive (south and west sides) creates a safe route for active transportation users, including pedestrians and cyclists. Among other improvements, a new crosswalk was installed on Hocking Avenue and McIntosh Drive to provide a safe crossing.
Hocking Avenue Improvements

This project included the following works:
- Full-depth asphalt removal and reinstallation.
- Removal of existing curb, gutter, sidewalk, and roadway.
- Installation of a new barrier-type curb and gutter, continuous asphalt multi-use pathway, driveway restoration, wheelchair letdowns and sections of landscape boulevard.
- Storm drainage works including catch basin relocations and installations and tie-in to storm mains.
- Roadway and pathway road markings and signage changes.
- Traffic signal upgrades including the removal of 4 existing signal poles and bases and replacement with 2 new signal poles.
