Portside Greenway

Did you know?

Greenways are car-light to car-free All Ages and Abilities (AAA) (1.7 MB) active transportation corridors, that serve as high-quality continuous public spaces.

We are planning to upgrade and expand the Portside Greenway to create a continuous route from Alexander Street to Boundary Road that prioritizes safe, comfortable walking, biking, and rolling, with great public spaces along the way.

The Portside Greenway has been identified in many plans over the years, including the Greenways Plan (7.4 MB) (1995) and Transportation 2040 (2012). The project also supports key civic priorities including equity and climate action.

What's happeningPhase 3 Wall Street engagement summary

In September 2025, we engaged residents and community organizations on the Wall Street section of the Portside Greenway through pop-ups, door knocking, email, and a public survey. The engagement summary captures what the community told us.

Find out what we learned in the Phase 3 Wall Street Engagement Summary Report (7.8 MB).

Next steps

Construction on Wall Street will be phased, beginning with the west zone in 2027. Construction on the central and east zones will begin after 2028. We will provide an update to the community before this work begins. 

There will be opportunities to help shape the design of the remaining Portside Greenway sections, including Alexander Street, Powell Street, and Bridgeway Street.
