The Robinson Street project could start construction this year if funded.

The Brealey Drive reconstruction project from Lansdowne Street West to Sherbrooke Street has been completed under budget with an estimated surplus of almost $2.9 million. According to the City, Council will consider transferring $2.6 million to the Robinson Street infrastructure project.

It includes installing concrete curbs and gutters, sidewalks, storm sewers, sanitary sewers, a new pavement structure, stormwater management infrastructure, and landscaping. The work will also include a pedestrian crossing at the Rotary Trail and Robinson Street.

The following are the funding allocation proposals from the Brealey Drive project to be transferred to Robinson Street:

  • $1,250,000 of Wastewater Reserve funding

  • $1,350,000 of Canada Community-Building Fund funding

The Robinson Street Reconstruction project was deferred from 2026 to 2027 as part of the 2026 budget process.
