Construction completed

Construction has finished at Punkeydoodles Corners.

The road safety improvements at Road 101A and Perth Road 101 (Oxford Road 24) include a realignment of the intersections, pavement reconstruction with new deceleration and turning lanes, additional street lighting, and enhanced signage.

The west leg of Punkeydoodles Avenue at Perth Road 101 and the north leg of Township Road 11 at the intersection of Township Road 11 and Perth Road 101 remain permanently closed.

This work acted on several recommendations put forward in a joint intersection control feasibility study undertaken by Oxford County, Perth County, Township of Wilmot and Region of Waterloo.

About the intersection improvements

• The Punkeydoodles Corners area is made up of four intersections that are shared among the municipalities of Oxford County, Perth County, Township of Wilmot and Region of Waterloo:
  Punkeydoodles Avenue and Oxford Road 5
  Perth Road 101 and Road 101A
  Perth-Oxford Road/Oxford Road 24 and Perth Road 101
  Perth Road 101 and Township Road 11
  
  
• In June, Oxford County Council awarded a $1.08 million construction contract for intersection improvements at Punkeydoodles to Corners Capital Paving Inc. The construction project is being led by Oxford County and jointly funded by partner municipalities.
  
  
• The Punkeydoodles Corners Intersection Control Feasibility Study released in October 2023 considered community input and existing traffic data, such as traffic volumes, traffic patterns, collision history, operating speeds, and sight lines, and projected future traffic conditions over the next 20 years. Recommendations from the intersection study followed extensive feedback from the community about safety concerns.

Community consultation

The Punkeydoodles Corners Intersection Control Feasibility Study followed extensive feedback from the community about safety concerns in this area. During the study, the project team consulted with residents, the general public, stakeholders and agency partners. This included an in-person Public Information Centre on October 5, 2023 that was attended by more than 150 residents.
