There are many developments being proposed for Kitchissippi Ward. Here you can find an update on the progress of ome of the largest ones; 114 Richmond Rd., 125 Hickory St. and 855 Carling Ave.

Kitchissippi Ward has seen a significant increase in population over the past few years due to the City’s focus on intensification. This has translated in a rise in the level of traffic and the ensuing problems associated with it. Most streets in the ward are experiencing pressures as a result of this and particularly residential streets which were not originally built to accommodate current levels. As a result, Councillor Leadman has been working with residents and community associations across the ward to take steps to reduce speeds, address driver behaviour and the number of cars cutting through residential streets.
