The Ewen Avenue streetscape enhancement project isn’t the only work being done in Queensborough.
During city council’s Sept. 12 meeting at the Queensborough Community Centre, city staff gave an update on the streetscape project that’s been underway since 2013. Phase 2 is nearing completion and phase 3 will begin in 2017.
“It’s not the end of the work in Queensborough,” said Roger Emanuels, the city’s manager of infrastructure and design. “We do have a couple of other projects that are going to happen before the end of this year.”
Emanuels said the city will be upgrading an asphalt sidewalk on Salter Street, between Gifford and Jardine, to provide a walkway for students heading to and from school. The intention is to have that work completed by the end of the year.
“The other is on Boyd Street near the Queensborough Bridge. We are actually doing some repaving there,” he said. “We are going to adjust some of the lane lining there to create a multi-use pathway along the road there to accommodate different modes of users.”
