• A newly configured cycle-track (fully separated) meeting the objectives for a complete street design.
• Beckwith Street /Elmsley Street intersection reconfiguration including traffic/pedestrian signal infrastructure replacement meeting Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) standards, as well as staged cycling infrastructure on Elmsley Street for future upgrades.
• Installation of a new Pedestrian Crossover (PXO), crossing of Beckwith Street immediately south of Church Street
• Decorative LED pedestrian and street lighting
• Landscaping (trees, shrubs, and perennial plantings)
• Placement of new street furniture

After 7 months of construction, Beckwith Street North opened to traffic on Friday, October, 28, 2022.
