Berford Street Reconstruction - Phase I
Phase I of the Berford Street reconstruction - Division Street south to George Street - was completed between 2019 and 2023. This phase included the design and reconstruction of underground infrastructure, and the roadway, forming a key first step in overall improvements.

  • Full road reconstruction, including new pavement
  • Installation of new sidewalks to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility
  • Upgraded streetlighting, as well as the traffic signal system at the Frank Street intersection
