Temporary traffic restrictions for Dundas Place starting Thursday

Temporary traffic restrictions are en route to Dundas Place.

Starting Thursday, motor vehicles will no longer be able to access the downtown corridor at either Wellington or Ridout streets.

Instead, they’ll only be able to access Dundas Place at Talbot, Richmond or Clarence streets. However, motor vehicles can still exit Dundas Place at either Wellington or Ridout streets.

To help enforce the changes, the city will block motor vehicle access at Wellington and Ridout streets using a combination of concrete barriers, planters and signage.

The restrictions will have no impact on pedestrians and cyclists, with the latter group still using the two traffic lanes on Dundas Place.
