The City of Brampton says several major downtown revitalization projects have reached important construction milestones as work continues to transform the city’s core.
City officials say the projects are designed to create a more vibrant and connected downtown area for residents, businesses and visitors.
One of the key projects involves repairs to the underground parking garage at 8 Nelson Street West Parking Garage. Phase 2 of the repairs will begin March 30 and will temporarily close the north platform of the Downtown Brampton Transit Terminal.
During construction, several bus routes operated by Brampton Transit and GO Transit will move to temporary stops along George Street and Main Street.
The south platform of the transit terminal and GO train platforms will remain open during construction. City officials expect the repairs to be completed and the platform reopened by late summer 2026.
The garage renovations are part of long-term plans to support the future Downtown Brampton Transit Hub, which will play a central role in improving transportation connections in the city’s core.
Another major project underway is the expansion of Garden Square. Demolition of city-owned buildings at 30 to 60 Main Street North has been completed, clearing the site for construction.
The new public space will expand Garden Square and create a direct connection to Main Street. Plans for the area include outdoor seating, larger gathering spaces and improved pedestrian access.
The expanded square is expected to reopen in summer 2026 while longer-term redevelopment plans for nearby blocks continue.
The city also announced that construction on the Downtown Brampton Streetscape Project will resume March 25 along Queen Street West.
Work will take place on the south side of Queen Street West between Elizabeth Street South and Mill Street South. During construction, traffic will be reduced to one westbound lane through the area.
The streetscape project is expected to continue through summer 2026.
City officials are encouraging residents, businesses and visitors to use an interactive online map that provides updates on downtown construction locations, timelines and traffic impacts as the revitalization projects continue.
