William Street Neighbourhood Reconstruction Project

Project Information

• Project Background

  William Street and surrounding neighbourhood streets (Highland Park Drive, Glenwood Drive, Robbie Burns Drive, and Charles Street) are in poor condition and require full road reconstruction to meet current urban standards. In addition, the watermain and sanitary sewer systems in this neighbourhood are outdated and require full replacement. The design will also review opportunities to improve traffic calming, streetlighting, and connectivity of the community.
