The city is looking for public input on design improvements at the intersection of Chapel St. S and Portland St.

A public notice said three options are being considered:

  • A closure of Chapel Street S between Portland Street and Welland Canals Parkway
  • Re-routing of traffic from/to Welland Canals Parkway with no access to Chapel St S from the parkway
  • Addition of line painting and new signage
  • A public meeting is set for Tuesday, March 10 at 5 p.m. at Council Chambers, 3540 Schmon Pkwy, where locals and stakeholders can discuss the issue
