Construction is scheduled for 2019.The Regional Street Renewal Program includes the renewal and reconstruction of the City’s regional streets, sidewalks, and recreational walkways/paths.

This project includes the reconstruction of York Avenue from Osborne Street to Memorial Boulevard, reconstruction of Memorial Boulevard from York Avenue to St. Mary Avenue and the rehabilitation of Memorial Boulevard from St. Mary Avenue to Portage Avenue and the rehabilitation of Colony Street from Portage Avenue to Ellice Avenue.

The pavement reconstructions will include the replacement of the concrete pavement, curbs and sidewalks.

The reconstruction of Memorial Boulevard from York Avenue to St. Mary Avenue will also include new protected bike lane for both southbound and northbound travel and may include plans to extend the bike lanes to Broadway in the future.
