Ryan Street Construction Phototour

Ryan St (formerly known as Ryan Rd) is a hive of construction activity these days. This has been going on for the last couple of years but is accelerating. This activity is mostly thanks to the Mountain Rd subdivisions "breaking through" onto Ryan, the upgrading of Horsman Rd and also the construction of Northrop Frye School and the imminent construction of the new French K-8 school.


The middle part of Ryan Rd is in the process of being gentrified. The culverts are gone and are replaced by curbs, gutters and sidewalks. The east end of Ryan has already undergone upgrading, as has also the extreme west end of the street around Northrup Frye School.


Site preparation for the new French school is well underway. The foundation in fact is being poured. The school will be on the northwest corner of the Ryan/Horsman roundabout, will cost about $23M, and will house between 450-650 students.


This shows what the finished school will look like. I'm not sure about the colour scheme......


This is the Ryan/Horsman roundabout. You can see subdivision encroachment along the edges of the roundabout in the background. I imagine the growth rate in the immediate area will mushroom with the construction of the new school.


A couple of new apartment buildings being constructed about a block east of the roundabout, within easy walking distance of the new school.

Ryan Rd ain't in the country no more Martha!
