Pickering Parkway Improvements

November 26, 2010 – The City of Pickering has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for improvements to Pickering Parkway from Liverpool Road to west of Glenanna Road as shown on the study area map below. A parking structure is proposed to be built inside the Pickering Town Centre on the south-western portion of the parking area and is expected to increase vehicular operations along Pickering Parkway. Based on the identified need to address capacity issues, the Study recommends a preferred solution which consists of the following:

• Implement a signalized intersection at the southwest corner of the Pickering Town Centre (PTC);
• Implement dual westbound left turn lanes from Pickering Parkway to Liverpool Road;
• Relocate the existing PTC access off Pickering Parkway (adjacent to the Esso gas station) further east of Liverpool Road and eliminate the left out movement;
• Implement additional traffic lanes on Pickering Parkway east of Liverpool Road; and
• Construct a new right in / right out access off Liverpool Road north of Pickering Parkway
