Western & Sarnia Road Project Update

Construction of Philip Aziz Avenue and Western Road is planned to begin in Spring 2026. The construction of the roadworks is anticipated to require one construction season, with some planned carry-over and finishing work in 2027. Finalization of the construction staging plan will include coordination with Western University administration.

    Construction of the Sarnia Road walking and cycling infrastructure improvements will be completed under a separate contract, planned to be completed in 2027 subject to property acquisition required to support the project.

    For more information see the report to the City’s Community and Protective Services Committee (skip to p. 27).

    Proposed high rise at Sherwood Forest Mall

    Here are displays from the owner of Sherwood Forest Mall for the building they plan to build at the west side of the mall property (near the Beer Store).  The City Council will review the proposal in the new year.  If approved, the owners want to start building sometime in 2025 with completion likely to take until 2026.

    Community Information Session November 13 – Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment at 299 & 307 Sarnia Road

    At the information session, the consultant will go over the history of the project and the changes to the original application for everyone’s information.  It is a different concept than we first heard about. The flyer with further information is available here.

    Rezoning updates – Sarnia Road

    REZONING AT 279 SARNIA ROAD FOR TWO – 3 STORY BUILDINGS

    This application will be heard at a public participation meeting at City Hall this Tuesday, October 22, around 1:45 pm (the meeting is also on line.  If you wish to speak on line, write pec@london.ca prior to the meeting).  The two buildings will have a total of 20 units, each with 3 bedrooms.  The full report is available here.  Your Executive is supportive of this application because it will be managed by the builder who is a local builder, is not as tall as currently permitted and has fewer bedrooms than permitted. 

    REZONING AT 299-307 SARNIA ROAD

    There will be an information session on the revised proposal for development of these two properties.  The session will occur on November 13th starting at 6 pm at St. Ansgar Church, in the Church hall.  St. Ansgar is at the corner of Lawson and Wonderland (with lots of parking).  Members of your Executive are meeting with Councillor Trosow and the proponent’s consultants prior to the session.  After our meeting, there will be more information as to what is proposed.
