New sidewalks coming to busy stretch of Dufferin Cres.
NANAIMO — A stretch of Dufferin Cres. will soon look more residential with full sidewalks along a specific stretch of the road, replacing the raised curbs currently in place.
Nanaimo City Council approved a $300,000 project to build sidewalks on Dufferin Cres., specifically in front of four multi-unit housing buildings in the 1600 block near Boundary Cres.
Poul Rosen, senior manager of engineering, told councillors at a recent finance and audit committee meeting this is a long-gestating project, first discussed in 2014.
“It’s been in design for several months now. It’s well along its way to be ready for construction,” he said.
