Construction started in late September 2019 and is expected to last three months, weather permitting.

A public consultation meeting was held in January 2018 to share a preliminary proposed plan, receive public feedback and discuss priorities for improvements. This meeting built off previous community consultation hosted by the TCDSB prior to the City’s involvement.
