“We are looking forward to starting the next phase of Ethel Street improvements which extends from Harvey Avenue to Sutherland Avenue,” said Project Manager, Todd DeGruchy. “A major part of this project is the extension of the cycle track which starts over at Cawston Avenue and will serve as an important connection in the city’s bike network.”
Additional improvements to Ethel Street will include new sidewalks, landscaping, street lighting and utility upgrades.
Construction is planned to begin in April with completion anticipated for October.
During this time, crews will also be replacing an aging water and sewer main on Saucier Avenue.
The Ethel Street Corridor between Clement and Raymer avenues is being constructed in phases and has a total cost estimated at $12 million. The corridor will connect with Casorso, Rose, Sutherland, and Cawston Active Transportation Corridors and will run north-south between downtown and the South Pandosy Area.
The first phase between Bernard and Harvey avenues was completed in 2015 and the second phase between Bernard and Cawston avenues was completed in 2016.
