Minden Pedestrian Crossover

During the 2026 budget deliberations, Minden Hills Council approved the construction of a new pedestrian crossover (PXO) on Bobcaygeon Road (commonly known as Main Street), in Minden Village.

The Township has been working with Engage Engineering to develop a concept for the project. At the March 26, 2026 Council meeting staff presented conceptual drawings with the proposed Pedestrian Crossover in downtown Minden.
