Yonge TOmorrow environmental study complete

12/14/2021

 
The City of Toronto has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment that evaluates  improvements to the Yonge Street public right-of-way between Queen Street and College/Carlton Street. The project, known as Yonge TOmorrow,  aims to increase pedestrian space and improve  the way people move through and experience downtown Yonge Street.
 
The Preferred Design Concept for Yonge Street, as documented in the Environmental Study Report (ESR), includes increasing sidewalk widths and providing other improvements to the public realm by reducing the existing four driving lanes cross-section to two lanes and introducing separated cycling facilities north of Gerrard Street to College Street.

Yonge TOmorrow consultations commenced in 2018. By February 2021,  the final report on YongeTOmorrow was adopted by City Council with an overwhelming majority of twenty-one to five in favour of the plan. The November 2021 environmental assessment is the next step to realizing the Yonge Street plan.   Following provincial approval, the project will then develop a detailed design along with construction phasing and schedules.  Construction has so far not been scheduled. 
 
Looking further forward, the redesign of Yonge Street north between College Street and Davenport Road, as well as the redesign of Church Street are another  step closer. 

The environmental study report is available on the City's website.
