This project was initiated by the Region of Niagara to address operational and servicing deficiencies in the road section between Verdun Avenue and Third Street Louth, a distance of 1.1 km. Of particular concern was the vehicular access and on-street parking at St. Ann’s School.

The project was carried out under Schedule A of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Process which involved one public meeting.

Phase 1 of the project, Hutchinson Court to Verdun Avenue, was constructed to a two-lane urban section with bike lanes.
