Historical Routes have their own page.

Here are some questions, variables and assumptions about this project. These are open to discussion and design forks.

Conceptual Maps for new routes
The current concept map dated 2021-08-29 consists of 8 lines:



A simplified sketch of downtown details showing what could be implemented in the first phase which is a line between Trent and Memorial Centre plus a line between Fleming and Ashburnham and a small grid downtown.



Phased development of new streetcar lines in Peterborough.

 * 1) Two of the principal user groups of transit are the students at Trent University and Fleming College with campuses in the north and southwest corners of town respectively. The first two lines built should serve those destinations and plus a downtown network to support various turning options and a carhouse.
 * 2) The next three lines to be constructed should cover the major transportation/intensification corridors: Chemong, Lansdowne, Ashburnham and more of a network downtown. Note, this plan imagines a new bridge across the Otonabee at Marina so East line and North lines connect.)
 * 3) The next set of lines would serve outstanding population density areas and secondary schools not already included: out McDonnel to Parkhill near St Peter's, south end loop incorporating industrial area and Kenner.
 * 4) Finally smaller connectors, a rush hour service routes could be added: Major Bennett, etc.



Previous steps in the design can be found on the previous steps page.

Prior Efforts
An earlier Peterborough Streetcar wiki existed in 2014 as a topic within IdeasPeterborough.



This route plan accompanied an article in the The Greenzine Magazine - Winter 2020.
