The study will explore the following in developing a holistic design for the street:
- Improvements to sidewalks and cycling facilities
- Coordinating and updating streetscape elements (benches, streetlighting, bike parking)
- Identifying additional space for plants and trees, patios, and seating areas
- Investigating relocating electrical utilities underground (removing hydro poles)
- Reviewing opportunities for bus stop improvements
