structures on the site. Later in the year, there will be a community consultation where the public will be able to have input on the concept design for the park.
Virginia Main Street
Site works for the upgrade to the Virginia Main Street are commencing this month. The project will run from the Virginia Sports Oval to just south of the intersection with Penfield and Sheedy Roads, with the contractor working directly with local traders to ensure that delays are kept to a minimum. The new main street will feature wide shared pedestrian and cycle paths, a priority pedestrian crossing, improvements to stormwater infrastructure, new street trees, on-street parking, and the development of the Virginia Institute Park into a community destination.
