Construction crews from the Town of Renfrew’s Department of Infrastructure & Public Works have closed Greenwood Avenue between Renfrew Avenue West and a nearby secondary access point (likely Hall Avenue) to install a raised crosswalk. The road is projected to fully reopen on January 15, 2026, weather permitting.
The work involves milling existing pavement, pouring a raised speed table with a pedestrian crossing on top, and installing tactile warning plates and signage; the design may also include bollards or narrowed lane markings. The town’s road closures and construction page provides general construction notices; crews are expected to manage traffic with alternating lanes. Residents should monitor municipal construction alerts for updates and detour information.
The raised crossing is one of the first applications of raised pedestrian infrastructure in Renfrew’s residential core and is part of the town’s broader Master Transportation Plan for 2024–2034. Town officials say the measure responds to resident concerns about speeding on local side streets and supports a 10-year vision for safer walking and cycling routes.
Town officials say crews aim to complete the installation and related pavement work before mid-January, weather permitting. The Town lists Gloria Raybone as its Chief Administrative Officer. Residents are encouraged to check municipal alerts for detours and plan extra travel time through the area.
