Yonge Tomorrow Study Progresses

Downtown has experienced huge growth over the past decade, making the sidewalks on Yonge Street busy -- and crowded.

The City of Toronto is carrying out Phase 1 of a study that focusses on the section of Yonge Street from Queen Street to College / Carlton Street. (Phase 2, continuing north to Davenport, will follow upon completion of Phase 1.)  A number of opportunities will be considered to increase pedestrian space and improve the way people experience Yonge Street.

A second public information session about the project was held on November 21, but in case you missed it, check out the online version of the display boards, which map out the process and illustrate various redesign options.  The main decision: how much of the street to dedicate to vehicles, pedestrians and bikes. 

The study is in the environmental assessment stage; stakeholders are being consulted via an Advisory Group. We will update you as more details are made public.
