Local tips
Peterborough's centre is at 724 Lansdowne Street West, in the busy shopping strip near High Street and Lansdowne Place mall. Lansdowne is a four-lane arterial here, so expect heavy retail traffic, frequent plaza entrances and lane changes from the start. The signal at Lansdowne and High Street is right beside the address, and map data shows railway level crossings on both High Street and Lansdowne Street West within about 250 metres. Practice approaching a level crossing calmly: slow down, look both ways and never stop on the tracks. Erskine Avenue and The Kingsway have another signal a few hundred metres away, and St. Alphonsus Catholic Elementary and Keith Wightman Public School are both within half a kilometre, so watch for school-zone signs. The centre is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you need another centre, Lindsay is the closest to the west.
