Old Beach Drive, located along Georgian Bay between Grey Road 1 and Balmy Beach Road, is being considered for major reconstruction due to aging infrastructure and community concerns. We want your input on how we move forward.
Why This Is Happening
Old Beach Drive is slated for reconstruction due to aging infrastructure. Combined with ongoing issues like road deterioration, pedestrian safety concerns, and limited fire suppression access, it’s time for a comprehensive solution.
Options Being Considered
We’re exploring several upgrades and service improvements:
| Option | Details |
|---|---|
| Full Road Reconstruction | Rebuild Old Beach Drive and Washington Avenue, including stormwater systems and pavement upgrades. |
| Active Transportation Trail | Add a dedicated path for walking and cycling to enhance safety and recreation. |
| Municipal Watermain | Install a new watermain with fire hydrants. |
| Stormwater Management | Improve drainage using updated culverts, ditches, or urban-style storm systems. |
| Traffic Safety Enhancements | Options such as reconfigured intersections, pedestrian access near Balmy Beach Convenience Store, and potential one-way road configurations. |
We need your feedback to help decide which upgrades matter most to you.
