Consultation re: Penney Crescent Portion of SUP Route Alignment

On Nov.14, Council approved route alignments for three shared use paths (SUPs) in the City for which public engagement took place in 2023. One of these routes - Airport Heights to the Paul Reynolds Community Centre - is modified from the original route shared during the public engagement process. What has changed? The new route veers off the existing SUP and travels behind Penney Crescent, then enters the street through Penney Crescent Park, where it continues on the south side of the road (odd numbered houses) until it reaches the path to Spruce Meadows Park (check out the new drawing in the documents).

The SUP will then travel through the park and along the greenway behind Stirling Crescent and Prim Place to reach the intersection of Torbay Rd. and Gleneyre St. before continuing on to Paul Reynolds. Two options are being proposed for the section of the SUP that will travel along a portion of Penney Crescent. Both options are available for review in the Documents folder. Option 1 provides parking on one side of the street (even numbers) and a Shared Use Path on the odd numbered side of the street. Option 2 provides parking on both sides of the street with a narrower Shared Use Path on the odd numbered side.

Households on Penney Crescent, Stirling Crescent, Prim Place, Jackson Place and Slade Place will receive information in the mail about the options being considered. There are several opportunities to provide feedback: an online survey or an in-person drop in session between 6 and 8 p.m. on Dec. 6 at the Paul Reynolds Centre (see details in the Key Dates). Residents of these streets can also email engage@stjohns.ca or call 311 to speak to a member of the project team.
