As part of the Ministry of Transportation's (MTO) Highway 400 improvements project, crews will replace the Bayfield Street interchange and crossing structure in 2026 and widen the street to six lanes within the MTO's project limits, which extend from Grove Street to Coulter Street.
The ministry's project requires the City to implement improvements on Bayfield Street from Coulter Street to Cundles Road.
Teams are completing phase one, which includes early development and environmental studies.
Residents wishing to provide feedback are encouraged to complete the survey that is open until April 19.
