Phase 2:

The project's second phase involved the reconstruction of Pelham Street from Port Robinson Road to approximately 50 m south of Pancake and John Street. The project included a complete reconstruction of the roadway, including newly paved surfaces including designated on-road bicycle facilities, concrete curb and gutter, new concrete sidewalks, a new storm drainage system to improve drainage and mitigate flooding concerns, a new water main and new street lighting for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The project also included pedestrian safety and traffic calming measures at the key intersections, including a raised tabletop intersection at Port Robinson Road. Phase 2 of the project began in the spring of 2021, and all significant elements were completed by December 2021. Additional finishing work, such as sod, was completed in the spring of 2022.
