We'd Like to Hear From You!

Downtown Renewal is about creating a place for everyone. Downtown Guelph is and will continue to be the heart of our city. We're working to improve and upgrade Downtown's roads, sewers, watermains, sidewalks, cycling facilities and streetscape to replace aging infrastructure and make our Downtown even more livable, workable, playable, and lovable.

While construction isn't starting until 2026, we're planning that construction now, deciding first on how construction will be phased (what areas and when), the pace of construction, associated impacts, and the costs. This detailed planning is being developed through a Capital Implementation Plan, which will help guide the work throughout construction.

Construction pace and phasing aren't all that we're planning to do to reduce the impacts of construction on area businesses, residents and visitors, but it is certainly one of the first and most important pieces.

We'd like to hear your voice in this planning process and your questions, comments, or concerns about Downtown infrastructure renewal. 

In March of this year, the public and Downtown businesses were invited to provide feedback on options for proposed construction phasing, the pace of construction (fast or slower paced), and to share ways impacts can be mitigated. The feedback was taken into consideration to shape the Capital Implementation Plan further. 

Please take a few minutes to complete this survey after reviewing the recommendations we've chosen haveyoursay.guelph.ca/downtownproject. All comments will be part of the project record (except for personal information). Your feedback is important and will be carefully considered to help shape the final recommendations to Council.
