Share Your Feedback on the 9th Avenue East Reconstruction at the November 26 Open House

The City of Owen Sound invites residents to learn about the planned reconstruction of 9th Avenue East, ask questions and share feedback at a Public Information Centre on Thursday, November 26, 2026, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 808 2nd Avenue East.

The City plans to rebuild 9th Avenue East from 20th Street East to 23rd Street East. The City is also reviewing ways to improve crossings and traffic flow at 20th Street East and 23rd Street East, including whether traffic signals are warranted at 20th Street East. The project will also replace sections of aging watermain and upgrade storm sewers to help reduce flooding in the area.

At the open house, you can learn about the proposed improvements, speak with City staff and share what you experience when walking, cycling or driving through the neighbourhood. If there’s a location where you have trouble crossing the street or regularly see flooding, let the project team know.
