Bike lanes, new concrete curbs, and pedestrian crossings are on the way.
Construction starts in June and takes place between University Avenue and Lancaster Street.
It's expected to be complete next fall.
Councillors also voted to add two more roundabouts to intersections, which have been the scene of serious collisions in the past.
One will be in Woolwich at Sawmill Road and Ebycrest Road.

The other will be in North Dumfries at Cedar Creek Road (Regional Road No. 97) and Trussler Road.
It's expected these will reduce delays for drivers.
Construction is planned for 2024.
