Brampton - Plans to extend the historic downtown north to Vodden Street are already underway as new street lighting and core infrastructure are upgraded and replaced.
Brampton - Plans to extend the historic downtown north to Vodden Street are already underway as new street lighting and core infrastructure are upgraded and replaced.

"The plans anticipate a northerly expansion of a pedestrian friendly streetscape that will reflect the character and feeling of the existing core," says City Councillor Grant Gibson, "and it is a logical and fiscally responsible step in the evolution of our historic downtown."

The Main Street North revitalization will focus on a store front, professional office and infill strategy designed to enhance the existing appeal of the area. "We are seeing a number of redevelopment applications for professional office, retail and other uses along Main Street North – investment that has been driven in large part by the city's commitment to rejuvenating the historic downtown," says Regional Councillor Elaine Moore. "We want to continue along that win-win path."
