A survey ends on Monday as the Village of Cumberland makes way for upgrades to Penrith Avenue.

The Village says Penrith Ave., between First Street and Third Street, is a vital connection in the community, just one block from Dunsmuir Avenue.

Whether you walk, bike, roll, or drive, the Village says the corridor plays a crucial role in how locals navigate the neighbourhood.

They are planning upgrades to improve safety, accessibility, and long-term service reliability, and want to hear from residents.

Feedback will help inform the final design, which we will share in the fall of 2025.

The Village says they’re looking for safer sidewalks for all ages and abilities, better access to local businesses and services, smarter parking and smoother mobility, and upgraded underground utilities for reliable service.

To take part, visit Penrith Avenue Survey.
