The pavement reconstructions will include the replacement of the concrete pavement, curbs and sidewalks. The pavement rehabilitations will include concrete spot repairs to the road, asphalt resurfacing, curb repairs and sidewalk repairs and renewals. 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. Due to low traffic volumes on southbound Memorial Boulevard between St Mary and York the two existing travel lanes will be reduced to a singular travel lane to allow existing parking to be maintained.
