Project overview

The project encompasses transit priority measures and it includes the reconstruction of the Greenbank Road and Baseline Road intersection with dedicated bus priority lanes, new concrete sidewalks and curbs, raised asphalt cycle tracks, reconfigured traffic lanes, and utility pole relocations.
