In 2021, infrastructure upgrades were undertaken on Chesterfield Drive, Tareyton Road, and Bakers Lane. The work included full replacement of sanitary sewers, watermains and associated structures, and road works including road base improvements and a new asphalt surface. Existing ditches were cleaned out, reinstating proper ditching on each side of the road, and driveway culverts replaced.

"Moved by Councillor Gordon and Seconded by Councillor Townend that the report from the Engineering and Environment Division, September 12, 2022 re: Chesterfield-Bakers-Tareyton Restoration Update, be received; and
That Council direct staff to report back to Council after new Council inauguration to propose funding plan and obtain approval to move forward with replacing seeded areas with sod for any resident who requests it and reimburse those residents who have paid to put down sod on their own; and further, that the Township repair any cosmetic tire marks on the new pavement caused by issues beyond our control and that such cost be taken from budget; and that the Township still hold the contractors for outstanding deficiencies."
