A big step forward for our village this morning: the Lakefield Water Link & Shuttle System proposal was featured on the front page of Monday’s Peterborough Examiner!

Thank you to reporter Thomas Croasdale for highlighting the reality facing our community as Peterborough County plans the 2027 rehabilitation of the Lakefield Bridge (County Road 29).

The Challenge:
Single-lane alternating traffic will trigger 400-metre queues past Clementi Street, disrupting morning school runs and in-home healthcare visits. The only alternative route around Lake Katchewanooka is a 21.9-kilometre detour—adding significant fuel costs and travel time for families and seniors.

The Solution:
Instead of isolating our village, the Lakefield Water Link proposes a continuous 3-minute passenger pontoon crossing between Isabel Morris Park / Marina and the Kingdon Lumber shoreline, paired with accessible local land shuttles running every 15 minutes.

This isn't about running an independent transit system—it’s about asking Peterborough County and Selwyn Township to write safe pedestrian and water crossing directly into the construction job requirements before contractor bidding closes. It also supports local procurement by engaging regional boat operators and bus fleets.

To read the full article online, search "Lakefield water link and shuttle proposed" on the Peterborough Examiner website.

Physical copies of the article and our community mitigation plan are available to view at the Lakefield IDA Pharmacy.

Let’s keep Lakefield connected. Please share this post with your neighbours, local business owners, and community groups!
