Public Works crews began repairs in March 2025, installing stormwater infrastructure and rebuilding the road.

Livingston Street Traffic Calming

After hearing community input and gathering speed data, traffic calming is proposed for Livingston Street. This project would add speed cushions about every 300ft between Depot Street and Victoria Road. The speed cushions proposed are the same size as speed humps but would include a space between each cushion for emergency vehicles, pictured below.
