Woolston Village upgrade

We’re upgrading Woolston Village and part of Ferry Road. This will make the village a safer and more attractive place to walk, bike and drive.

Brougham/Selwyn intersection work

We're replacing stormwater pipes at the intersection of Brougham and Selwyn streets because they are old and have reached the end of their useful life.
