Horton Road Pedestrian Improvements Project

Background:

The Horton Road Pedestrian Improvements project is a part of the Better Bus Project's Access to Transit project. It aims to address pedestrian safety and transit improvements along Horton Road, specifically between Sugarwood Place and Guess Road. This project is unrelated to pedestrian improvements on the east side of Guess Road.
