2026 Road Resurfacing Program
Annual road resurfacing projects ensure our existing infrastructure does not deteriorate beyond our target Pavement Condition Index (PCI). These roads are currently at the end of their useful life and are becoming a financial burden to maintain. Additionally, completing geotechnical investigations for future road resurfacing projects allows staff to choose the appropriate resurfacing methods and estimate budgets more accurately.
2026 Impacted Roads
| Road/Segment | Related Work |
|---|---|
| Hugel Avenue, William to George | Resurfacing of roadway and implementation of bike lanes |
| Hugel Avenue, Woodland to Eighth | Resurfacing of roadway, removal of parking lane on the north side to add bike lanes to match the remainder of Hugel Avenue |
| Simpresca Road | Pulverizing and regrading as well as paving the hill at the east end of Simpresca Road to mitigate erosion and improve traction. |
| All Town roads | Complete geotechnical investigation across all roads to determine road composition of future road resurfacing projects |
Hugel Avenue Bike Lane
As part of the 2026 Road Resurfacing Program, Hugel Avenue from Woodland Drive to Eighth Street and Hugel Avenue from George Street to William Street will be resurfaced.
The Town’s Official Plan and Transportation Master Plan identify Hugel Avenue as part of a continuous cycling route. The roadway throughout both sections of Hugel Avenue is not wide enough to accommodate both bike lanes and parking lanes and would result in parking on both sides of the road being prohibited.
It will be proposed to Town Council at their February 4, 2026, meeting that these sections of Hugel Avenue have bike lanes with painted buffers installed on both sides of the road. Letters were distributed to properties located within these road segments to obtain any feedback on these changes. Feedback was accepted until January 25, 2026.
Feedback received will be summarized and considered by Council alongside the Town’s Official Plan, Transportation Master Plan, and advice from the Midland Active Transportation Committee prior to Council making a decision.
