Safety across the corridor

The safety of pedestrians and the public continue to be a priority. We are reviewing site conditions across the corridor, assessing current traffic configurations, and identifying additional measures that may help improve conditions for our communities, as we have done throughout the project construction lifecycle, and will continue to do.

Some measures include:

  • Community safety walks which have been conducted in collaboration with Project Delivery and Safety Standards teams to identify and address site-specific risks.
  • Targeted safety blitzes in school zones, to promote safe crossing behaviours and increase awareness among students and families.
  • AODA compliance inspections to ensure accessible and safe pedestrian infrastructure is maintained throughout construction.
  • “Transit in Your Community” school presentations, focused on educating students about construction safety and transit awareness.
  • Digital and social media campaigns, including video content to reinforce safety messaging across a broader audience.
  • Routine site inspections to identify opportunities for enhanced safety measures, such as additional fencing and barriers.
  • Line painting refreshes to improve visibility and support both pedestrian and driver safety.
  • Enhanced pedestrian access and detour signage, particularly in high-traffic areas, to support safe navigation around construction zones.

 

We are encouraged by the steady momentum across the corridor and excited to see the upcoming work plan continue to move the project forward, with increasing focus on infrastructure readiness and train testing preparation.
