Holland Landing - Yonge Street Revitalization

Current Project Status 

The Enhance EG Yonge Street Revitalization project is transitioning to a single phase, scheduled for completion by late August 2026. For the remainder of the project traffic controls will remain in place. Road closures will take place throughout the project as needed. Signage will be in place to guide travellers. 

Local access to all properties within the work zone, including homes and businesses, the Holland Landing Fire Station and the Holland Landing Community Centre and Library, will be maintained during construction.  

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as these important infrastructure improvements are completed. 

What is being worked on this week:

• Installation of storm sewer continues at the intersection of Mount Albert Road and Yonge Street.
• Residents can expect open trench excavation with lane reductions as pipe is installed across the road and along the shoulder.

What is the Holland Landing Yonge Street Revitalization project?

The Enhance EG – Holland Landing Yonge Street Revitalization Project will renew and elevate the Holland Landing Yonge Street area through improved accessibility, enhanced safety and lighting, upgraded parking and landscaping, road resurfacing, and sustainable environmental improvements. The project area focuses on Yonge Street from Mount Albert Road to Doane Road.

The Revitalization Project will 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.
