The City of Oshawa has closed the pedestrian stairs on the west side of Ritson Road South leading to Graburn Avenue until further notice. This closure, which took effect on April 15, 2026, is necessary to ensure public safety while required repairs are completed.
The stairs are a common route for residents to travel between different street levels in the area. With the stairs now inaccessible, pedestrians will need to find alternate routes to reach their destinations.
This localized closure is occurring alongside broader infrastructure projects in the city. Nearby, Ritson Road South is currently experiencing ongoing lane restrictions due to deck repairs being performed on the Canadian Pacific Kansas City railway bridge, located between Viola Avenue and Mitchell Avenue.
The Oshawa Operations Services branch is responsible for the ongoing maintenance and repair of city sidewalks and roads. Residents who have questions or concerns regarding the closure can contact Service Oshawa at 905-436-3311 or toll-free at 1-800-667-4292.
