City shares near-final designs for first phase of Downtown Loop (rapid transit)

As the City of London prepares to construct Phase 1 of the Downtown Loop on King Street in 2021, we are hosting a public engagement period from October 28 – November 11 for Londoners to learn about the project and view the near-final designs.

The Downtown Loop will frame Dundas Place and run buses along Queens Avenue, Ridout Street, King Street, and Wellington Street. The project will add transit-only lanes and transportation improvements to ease congestion and improve safety and efficiency.

From October 28 – November 11, the public is invited to:

  • view renderings of the Downtown Loop’s recommended designs
  • view visualizations of bus stop concepts and road improvements
  • learn more about plans for construction
  • provide comments, and get answers to any questions about the project

We would typically present this information at a public information event, however adjustments are being made to ensure public safety and follow COVID-19 restrictions on public gatherings.

Public engagement opportunities

Online: Starting today, all of the latest project material and information is available on the City’s Get Involved website at getinvolved.london.ca/downtownloop. The website also has a question and answer feature for Londoners to get timely responses to any concerns or questions that they may have.

Connect directly: We recognize that not everyone will be able to access this information online. The project team is hosting in-person meetings by appointment and is also available to meet by video conference. All health precautions will be in place, including the requirement to wear a mask during in-person meetings.

To request an in-person or video conference meeting, email the project team at downtownloop@london.ca or call (519) 930-3518. Anyone requiring special accommodation is asked to let the team know and we will work with you to find a way to best share the information.
