Soward said the City is looking to re-allign Sutherland Avenue between Burtch Road and Spall Road.
New parks and public spaces are planned as are sidewalks.
City staff will take the input from the public engagement process to council in early December, Soward said, then plan a new round of public engagement before creating a final urban plan for the area by April 2018.
