 Project Background

The Yonge Street Revitalization is a collaborative project between the Town and York Region that seeks to revitalize downtown Holland Landing along the Yonge Street corridor through streetscape and infrastructure improvements. The core project area focuses on Yonge Street from Mount Albert Road to Doane Road. 

The project seeks to advance a 1.7 km multi-use path within the downtown core of Holland Landing establishing a key active transportation linkage and extension of the Region’s Lake to Lake Trail network through the community of Holland Landing. In addition to the multi-use path, below are some key components being constructed as part of the project:

  • Utility relocation/extension within the corridor by Enbridge Gas
  • Storm sewer and watermain replacement in advance of road works
  • Road works including:
    • Curb and sidewalk removal and replacement
    • Road resurfacing within the project limits
    • Intersection improvements including updates for AODA requirements
    • Localized sewer and drainage improvements as required 
  • Streetscape and public realm enhancements including decorative pavement (including Every Child Matters  Crosswalk), enhanced planting, seating/gathering areas, wayfinding signs, entry features etc.
