This work will be completed in 2011 as part of a resurfacing on Front Street East, between Sherbourne Street and Parliament Street.

The proposed road alterations will improve the pedestrian environment on Front Street East, between Sherbourne Street and Parliament Street, with minimal impact to traffic operations.
