Wilson Street Reconstruction

Upgrading Wilson Street from Gordon / Norfolk Street to Macdonell Street

will generally include:

· Streetscape upgrades outlined in the Downtown

Streetscape Manual

· Replacement of asphalt

· Sidewalk upgrades

· Cycling facilities

· On-Street parking

· Streetlighting

· Watermain, Sanitary, and Storm Sewer replacement

· Pedestrian refuge island at MacDonell
