Traffic Control Changes Coming to the Sixteenth Avenue North Railway Crossing

Please be advised that changes to traffic control at the Sixteenth Avenue North railway crossing will take effect on November 17, 2026.

As part of ongoing safety improvements, developed in collaboration with Transport Canada, the traffic control configuration at the railway crossing will be modified to improve vehicle movement through the area and help prevent vehicles from stopping on the tracks.

The changes include:

• Installation of two new stop signs and stop bars on Railway Street
• Removal of the existing yield sign on the south side of the railway tracks
• Removal of the existing stop sign on the north side of the railway tracks

Motorists and pedestrians travelling through the area are advised that new traffic controls will be in effect at the crossing. Please watch for updated signage, follow all posted traffic controls, and proceed with caution.

The City appreciates your patience and cooperation as these improvements are implemented. To stay up to date on this and other capital projects, visit kenora.ca/capitalprojects.
