Holland Landing - Yonge Street Revitalization - The Town of East Gwillimbury

What is the Holland Landing Yonge Street Revitalization project?

The Holland Landing Yonge Street Revitalization is a collaborative project that aims to revitalize the downtown Holland Landing/Yonge Street area through streetscape and infrastructure improvements. The project area focuses on Yonge Street from Mount Albert Road to Doane Road including portions of intersecting side streets at the main intersection of Bradford Street/Thompson Drive and intersecting local streets throughout the corridor, as shown on the image below.

Project improvements

This project is anticipated to include:

Construction of a multi-use path and road resurfacing
Upgrades to sidewalks to fill in missing links, improve connectivity and accessibility
Public realm improvements including decorative streetlighting, streetscape, amenities, etc.
Sidewalk connections to adjacent trail network (where applicable)

A portion of this project will also focus on the economic development opportunities of upgrading these areas. Additional projects and funding may be available for local businesses as this aspect develops and the project progresses.
