The concrete curb and bus lay-bys infrastructure is in poor condition, posing trip hazards for passengers entering and exiting the buses which can no longer be maintained with localized patches and repairs. The work includes the southern portions of curb along King Street located immediately in front of Kings Place, extending from York Street to Carleton Street; the work also includes the concrete pads for bus lay-bys.
