Bayview Drive
Transportation Improvements

Little Avenue to North of Big Bay Point Road

The City of Barrie Multi-Modal Active Transportation Master Plan (MMATMP) identified Bayview Drive as key transportation corridor and recommended several transportation improvements to accommodate growth in Barrie to 2031.

Project Updates

​April 2022

The City has engaged the existing utility owners along the Bayview Dr. corridor in order to coordinate utility relocations to avoid future conflicts with the proposed roads. Design for these relocations is expected to be completed this year, with physical relocations occurring in 2023. Property acquisition is ongoing for the small sections of property identified in the Environmental Assessment completed for this work. Construction is still on schedule to start in 2024.

Project Features

The Big Bay Point Road intersection at Bayview Drive is part of the Harvie Road/Highway 400 Crossing construction. The improvements to Bayview Drive will match the improvements being constructed at the intersection and continue north to Little Avenue.

The design improvements include:

• Two (2) 3.5 lanes – one each northbound and southbound;
• Continuous 4.2m two-way left turn lane;
• 1.5m bicycle lanes on both sides of the roadway;
• 1.8m sidewalk on the West side of the roadway; and
• Replacement and improvement to local water and sanitary sewer services.
