East at the Cumberland Farms gas station to Commercial Ave. Also, a 5-foot sidewalk is being constructed along Commercial Ave. from Captain’s Cove to Oak St.
At Bear Point, a 10-foot multi-use path is being constructed from Bay La Launch Ave.e to Wilson Blvd., connecting to an existing 10-foot path.

All work is scheduled to be complete before the end of the year.
