Streetscape Project
Start Date: September 2024
End Date: December 2027
The City of Brampton is starting the Downtown Brampton Streetscape work along Main Street (between Nelson Street and Wellington Street) and Queen Street (between Mill Street and Chapel Street).
The work involves removal of the existing sidewalk, new infrastructure installation, catch basin relocations, temporary traffic signals and installation of granite pavers and curbs.
Construction on these streets will take place at various times between 2024 and 2027. Work will be phased, requiring segmented closures on one side of the street.
The City is committed to ensuring safe and accessible walkways and entryways are maintained for everyone during construction. Any temporary access disruptions will be communicated promptly.
Access to local businesses will be maintained during construction. For more information, visithttps://www.brampton.ca/EN/City-Hall/Downtown-Brampton/Pages/Downtown-Brampton-Streetscape-Project.aspx
This project is a key element in the Council-approved initiative to revitalize the downtown core, aimed at enhancing public spaces, supporting economic developmentand improving the quality of life for residents.
Redevelopment of Ken Whillans and Garden Square
The City of Brampton is excited to announce that Canadian architecture firm gh3*, in partnership with landscape architecture comp
any Mandaworks, has been selected to lead the transformative redevelopment of Ken Whillans Square and Garden Square.
gh3*’s proposal stood out for its cohesive and imaginative approach, deeply rooted in Brampton’s civic identity and communit
y values. The design’s strong conceptual framework features a unified floral paving motif, beautifully reflecting Brampton’s “Flower City” legacy and artistically tying together both spaces. This winning vision thoughtfully integrates artistic and functional elements to create welcoming, unique and lively civic spaces.
Riverwalk Project
The transformative Riverwalk Downtown Brampton project is steadily advancing into major civil engineering works to lift th
e historic floodplain restrictions that have long constrained the city centre. Dating back to severe historical inundations from Hurricane Hazel in 1954, Downtown Brampton has remained und
er provincial Special Policy Area (SPA) zoning, severely limiting high-density housing and commercial investments within the creek basin.
Unlocking City Growth Through the Riverwalk Downtown Brampton Project
By implementing a world-class flood protection solution, the Riverwalk Downtown Brampton initiative permanently safeguards downtown neighbourhoods from regulatory flood risks while creating an iconic public realm. Widening and naturalizing the existing concrete bypass channel of Etobicoke Creek will allow floodwaters to safely drain away during extreme weather events, completely eliminating the flood hazard from over 30 hectares of downtown core land.
According to the official City of Brampton Riverwalk Project master plan, lifting these provincial development constraints paves the way for over 7,500 new residential units, diverse mixed-use towers, and thousands of skilled employment opportunities right at the heart of the municipal transit network.
