- multi-lane roundabouts are being introduced at County Road 19 and the new intersection with County Road 43 (Banwell Road); and
- diversion and reconstruction of County Road 43 from Shields Avenue to south of County Road 42.
Design has been completed as per the Environmental Study Reports for both the County Road 42 Class EA (2014) and the County Road 43 Class EA (2009).
