London unveils busy 2024 capital works program

LONDON, ONT. — The City of London, Ont. has reported on its capital plans for the 2024 construction season including continuing projects and new launches.

Details about the 2024 construction season and London’s Renew Construction Program will be released early in the spring, stated a release. 

Projects planned for construction in 2024 include Fanshawe Park Road and Richmond Street Intersection Improvements  Phase 2, between both legs of North Centre Road; Clark’s Bridge Widening  on Wellington Road from north of the Thames River to Watson Street; East London Link Phase 3 at Dundas Street and Highbury Avenue; and Sunningdale Road and Richmond Street Intersection Improvements .

The work planned in 2023 across the city included building new bus-only lanes for future rapid transit operations, a new two-lane roundabout, intersection improvements, enhancements to bike lanes and the active transportation network, and the installation of new traffic signals, lighting and other streetscape elements.

“This was another busy year for construction in London and all this work was necessary to continuing to support growth and development in our city,” said Jennie Dann, director of construction and infrastructure services, in a statement.

Projects completed or wrapping up soon include the Southdale Road and Colonel Talbot Road Roundabout, Fanshawe Park Road and Richmond Street Intersection Improvements on Richmond Street, the Quebec Street Infrastructure Renewal, Dingman Drive Improvements, and East London Link Phase 1 on King Street, Dundas Street and Egerton Street.

Others included the Downtown Loop Phase 2 on Queens Avenue and the Wellington Gateway Phase 1 on Wellington Street from York Street to the Thames River.

Also in 2023, a new two-lane roundabout was built to reconfigure the Southdale Road West and Colonel Talbot Road intersection, allowing the road to reopen more than three weeks ahead of schedule. Two new steel arches for the Victoria Bridge were lifted in place as bridge reconstruction continues. A new concrete deck has been poured advancing the construction work for the project, which is planned for substantial completion and reopening by late spring of 2024. 

Major excavation and roadbuilding for the Adelaide Underpass began this year and will continue over the winter months, aiming for substantial completion by summer of 2024.

Also this year, the first 1.4 kilometres of rapid transit lanes were painted red on both sides of King Street between downtown and Old East Village in preparation for future transit operations. 

In total, 40 local streets were reconstructed under the Infrastructure Renewal and Local Roads Reconstruction programs, upgrading infrastructure and improving our roads and sewers for Londoners.

Construction of the Downtown Loop Phase 3, Wellington Gateway and Adelaide Underpass will also continue in 2024.

About this project

Victoria Bridge is located on Ridout Street South over the Thames River, south of Horton Street East, next to Thames Park. The new Victoria Bridge includes a widened deck surface to better accommodate pedestrians, bicycle traffic, and improved connectivity with the Thames Valley Parkway.

We are working toward substantial completion and reopening of the area by late spring of 2024. Upcoming project milestones include:

• Restoration to the Thames Park entrance and parking lot
• Restoration of the Thames Valley Parkway
• Restoration of the pathways and tennis courts at Thames Park
• Full reopening of Victoria Bridge to all modes of transportation

Pedestrian & Cyclist Detour Routes

The temporary active transportation bridge will be closed as of April 9, 2024 as crews prepare to dismantle and remove it. Pedestrians and cyclists will now be detoured over the new Victoria Bridge, on the sidewalk (east side). The new sidewalk across the bridge will connect to the existing TVP detour south of the Victoria Bridge. Full details are included in the Public Service Announcement .

Other Traffic Impacts

The project includes road work on Ridout Street extending from the Horton Street intersection to Ingleside Place. The bridge replacement work requires full closure of Ridout Street to motor vehicles, from Horton Street to Ingleside Place, with general traffic detoured to Wharncliffe Road and Wellington Road.

• Ridout Street is closed to all traffic from Thames Park to Horton Street while the project is underway.
• A signed detour for motorists is in place along Commissioners Road, Wellington Road, Wharncliffe Road and Horton Street.
• LTC routes 4 and 15 are impacted by the closure and will be detoured along Grand Avenue, Carfrae Crescent and Richmond Street.

Project Highlights

Design Updates

In response to feedback the City received, the general traffic lanes on Victoria Bridge have been narrowed from 3.5 m to 3.3 m, and bollards will be added to the northbound bike lane to provide physical separation between vehicles and people on bikes.

As the City explores cycling infrastructure improvements to the north and south of Victoria Bridge on Ridout Street, it will be with an eye to integrating the northbound bridge bike lane to be consistent with those designs. The wider bridge deck in the new design allows for flexibility to adapt and adjust bridge operations to align with future conditions on Ridout Street.

LFP Longform: Highrise building boom will transform London's skyline

The highrise building boom in London shows no sign of slowing, city hall building officials say.

The city has seven applications for apartment building permits — and during the last four years, 40 permits have been issued for apartment construction with about half of those being major towers of more than 100 units, said Peter Kokkoros, deputy chief building official with city hall.

“In five years, the skyline of this city will change completely,” Kokkoros said.

“ There are a healthy number of apartment towers coming in the near future. B ased o n what is in the system now, and what council has appr o ved, there is a sign i ficant amount of towers.”

Although about half of the permits issued during the past four years are for more than 100 units, a bulk of the others are mid-rise, five to eight storeys. Only a few are two to three storeys, he said.

At one recent city council meeting alone, more than 2,000 units were approved, including a massive $500-million, 1,300-unit development at Bostwick and Southdale roads in the city’s southwest.

It seems no matter where you are in the city, a new highrise has been built or is planned. But the greatest concentration is downtown. Now, there are 15 proposed for London’s core. Although it is likely several will not be built, many will and that is when the skyline will change.

“It is not slowing down,” Kokkoros said.

Kokkoros believes the tower boom began in about 2015, because the following year city hall issued permits for seven highrises of more than 100 units.

By comparison, in 2014 three permits were issued.

“I would say in 2015 there was some movement on an increase in building permit applications for highrises,” said Kokkoros.

As for who is building, established, experienced firms appear to be getting the job done, said Michael Tomazincic, an urban planner with city hall.

“ Tricar is one builder that always seems to seek new development opportunities downtown, other big players are always looking, such as York, Drewlo and Old Oak,” he said.

“The big players are in the highrise development game.”

Old Oak poured the foundation for a 32-storey tower at 515 Richmond St. this week. Another tower by Tricar, with 24 storeys, is under construction at 40 York St.

As for who will live in all these towers, city officials trust builders to know their market.

“The big threshold will be market demand, how many people wish to live in a highrise,” said Tomazincic.

“We rely on the private sector to know their market. I don’t think there is a concern when you look at the apartment vacancy rate (1.8 per cent). Whatever is being built is being scooped up.”

The city and region has seen population growth more than double the recent average. The population rose by 8,600 in 2017 and more than 7,000 the year before, higher than the previous average growth of just more than 4,000 annually, so the need is there.

“There is no shortage of optimism,” Tomazincic said.

Demographics are also a factor. As the population ages, people want to get out of their suburban homes.

In addition, a ffordability has emerged as a key driver for the growth of highrise development in London, said Andrew Scott, the senior analyst with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. for the London area.

As home prices rise, some are looking for cheaper accommodation.

“ A few things have happened. Market affordability has deteri or ated. It’s an affordability issue,” said Scott.

“ W e have seen pric e s the last few years growing at double digit s and i n comes have not kept up. Supply has dropped quite a bit and c o ndos have become aff ord able options,” he said.

Highrise building  also is  stressed as part of an Ontario government push called the Ontario Growth Plan to focus more building in cities, often referred  to as “inward and upward” development in order to slow urban sprawl, save municipalities money on land services, and preserve green space and arable farmland, he said.

“ It is nev e r just one driver, it is several. T here is a grow i ng preferen ce for highrise living. It is the convenience factor, peopl e want to live close to amen i ties,” Scott said.

It also is not just towers. In 2017, the city issued more than 1,000 permits for singly-family homes, the highest total ever in one year.

“We ask ourselves all the time, ‘Who is buying these?’” said Kokkoros.

City hall wants 45 per cent of all new residential building to be infill, meaning in the city and not in green areas, and that favours highrise building as the best way to get a lot of people living in a small area, said Coun. Stephen Turner, chairperson of council’s planning committee.

“There are cost savings” of $40 million a year if 45 per cent of new building is in the city, he said. “Over the next 50 years, that is $2-billion in servicing needs” the city will have saved.

He also credits a hot local economy, with an unemployment rate near a record low at 4.9 per cent, as a reason for the building.

“ It shows co n fid e nc e in the city. T his is some thing to be ha pp y about.”

Here's what's happening with stations under construction for the Ontario Line

Latest Videos

Behind all the noise, dust , closed businesses , and long-term disruptions to intersections and transit service , there is some real progress occurring behind the scenes for the 15.6-kilometre Ontario Line subway running between Exhibition Place and the (former) Ontario Science Centre .

Preparatory construction works for the 15-station line began in late 2021, and while the project isn't set to open until a far-off date in 2031, excitement is steadily building for this key route intended to relieve pressure on key points in the overcrowded subway network.

Many station sites along the route recently entered into a phase of construction known as piling, or shoring, a method for stabilizing soil that dates back to ancient times.

During this process, crews form underground retaining walls that will allow for safe excavation and below-grade construction for elements like foundations and the stations' other subterranean components.

Metrolinx recently shared a brief explainer on the current piling activities.

Once this piling process is complete, the station sites will be excavated, paving the way for massive tunnel boring machines to chew their way through and form the line's underground stops.

One such stop currently moving along through the piling process is the King-Bathurst Station under construction at the intersection of the same name. Metrolinx has also offered a behind-the-scenes look at ongoing station construction at this specific site, which is expected to be one of the busiest on the line.

Check out this cool behind-the-scenes footage of crews preparing to build a new Ontario Line station at King and Bathurst. Once built, the King and Bathurst station will put subway service minutes away from 27,000 people in the community. Learn more here: https://t.co/Q4mhriWsWU pic.twitter.com/oxnNNxii6o — Ontario Line (@OntarioLine) June 28, 2024

While the station site spans two of the intersection's four corners, Metrolinx has promised that the busy 504 King and the 511 Bathurst streetcar routes will remain undisturbed throughout the long-term project.

Also spared from construction is the historic Wheat Sheaf Tavern built in 1849, thanks to the forthcoming station platform's diagonal configuration.

Council says yes to a massive new subdivision that will transform area near Cherryhill

It's the latest of three developments expected to dramatically transform the area in the coming years.

Social Sharing

A proposal to bring over 3,800 housing units spread across dozens of buildings to an area near London's Cherryhill neighbourhood received the go-ahead from council, Tuesday.

The development proposed by Esam Group would see a total of 51 buildings — 18 of which are highrises — completely reshape the area that's long been home to a previously flood-prone green space, near the intersection of Oxford Street and Proudfoot Lane.

It would include walking and cycling paths, green space, and the extension of the road system in the area.

"This development has it all," said Ward 3 Coun. Peter Cuddy, one of the 13 councillors who voted in favour of the subdivision. "We need to hit our housing targets, and this is really a good way to do it."

• Plan for 3,800 units means big change for Cherryhill area of Oxford Street

Plans to develop the area have been in the works since the early 1990s. The area is almost 37 hectares, or 80 acres, in size. The green space had been prone to flooding but recent work by the city to improve drainage downstream through the  Mud Creek restoration project , along with London's high demand for housing, put the development back on the table. 

Housing demand was a clear reason to give the development a green light, according to Mayor Josh Morgan.

 "It's exciting when we have an opportunity to approve a development that represents about 8 per cent of our commitment to the province of Ontario and our housing target," Morgan said.

"To be able to have a city where we have the opportunities to take intense residential development ... to get over 3,800 units of intensified development in a part of our community that can handle it, that's a good opportunity to seize."

Ward 13 Coun. Sam Trosow, however, didn't agree that the area could handle such intensification. He accounted for the sole vote against the development that's located in his ward.

He pointed out that the Esam Group's development is happening alongside two other housing development projects approved for the same area, around Oxford and Wonderland. They will see a combined 91 storeys and 627 housing units built.  

"When you add 3,817 units, [6000 people,] to the same situation that's going on with the other developments in the area ... the transit and the transportation infrastructure is not keeping up with this level of development. " Trosow said.

• A 'transit village' without rapid transit could revive westbound BRT, city staff and councillors say
• Traffic concerns on Wonderland overruled in favour of apartment tower

The question of transit availability has crept its way into discussions surrounding all three developments. In 2019, council elected to leave an Oxford Street corridor out of the nascent Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) plan.

"I understand that there's an argument that says, if you give the approvals for these, it'll induce the demand for more transit, and I hope that's right," Trosow said.

LISTEN | Is Cherryhill's infrastructure ready for a mega development?

Those concerns were echoed earlier in the day by Martin Horak, an associate professor at Western University who specializes in urban politics, when he spoke with CBC News.

"From a transportation perspective, I am pretty concerned. We don't have rapid transit there. Council decided against putting it there, which in all honesty, I think was a big mistake," Horak said.

"We might be in for gridlock in a few years, unless council starts acting now on the rapid transit file."

During Tuesday's council meeting, Morgan said he believes traffic concerns can be mitigated over time. Other councillors, like Coun. Susan Stevenson, said they would support future measures to combat traffic in the area.

The development is planned to come in multiple stages, spread out in blocks, that are scheduled to be gradually built out into the 2030s.
