Grafton Street is a key transportation corridor for the City of Charlottetown, serving as a main entrance to the downtown core from the Hillsborough Bridge, servicing significant institutional, commercial and commuter traffic. The City is in the process of developing a road infrastructure Master Plan for the section of this corridor between Edward Street and West Street.
The goal of the Plan is to provide concept designs for upgrades that will:
Improve safety for all road users
Enhance active transportation connections and pedestrian amenities
Support upgrades to public transit facilities
Maintain vehicular traffic flow
The project will also look at upgrading stormwater infrastructure as needed to accommodate changes, as well as consider the viability of burying overhead utilities.
Data collection and intermediary work has been ongoing since December 2024. The City and their consultants hosted a Community Open House on May 28, 2025 to present findings from the existing conditions review and introduce concept design optionsfor the corridor. The information that was presented at the open house can be found under the "Grafton Street Master Plan Design Boards" widget on this webpage.
