The project will include improved pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, along with landscaping and street trees to enhance the public realm.
As part of this work, the City will also close the gap in theFinch Hydro Corridor Trailbetween Duplex Avenue and Kenneth Avenue, improving connectivity for people walking and cycling.
