The Road Ahead 

 

With Council's passing of the 2012 Business Plan, the City is embarking on an infrastructure program which lays the foundation for "The Road Ahead". Several road construction projects will get underway this year - many are still in the planning process including the Duckworth Street and Highway 400 interchange improvements. Also of special note, The Surface Water Treatment Plant and the Painswick Library have recently opened and are now in service for residents.

Listed below are some of the other 2012 projects including details of the work being done, as well as the expected completion date.
