It's a lot
* Bike lanes on both sides of the road, which connect to the COLT
* Beautification of the strip with additional benches, trees
* Removal of illegal parking (see the parking in front of the unit off Rosedale) and introduction of parallel parking
* Shorter crossing distances for pedestrians as they leave the Fairview neighbourhood and cross onto Dutch Village
* Relocation of the "Fairview" sign
* Road maintains a single (proper) lane of traffic in each direction but likely tightens up enough that drivers can no longer sneak past those turning left into Fairview. This is an often hazardous practice drivers take.
* Possible removal of the ability to illegally turn left into Sunnybrae from Dutch Village (drivers were bypassing the existing median by doing a very sharp turn)
* Removal of two slip lanes (the only two in the stretch)
* Some land acquisition as part of the process
* And of course, yes, sidewalk on the former Halifax County side
