Moving Forward with Transform Yonge: Visionary Public Realm and Cycling Gains, Without Losing a Lane - We Want it All!
Background
“Yonge Street between Sheppard and Finch is the backbone of North York’s downtown, home to the highest concentration of office towers outside Toronto’s core and a critical route for drivers, pedestrians, transit riders, businesses, cyclists, and micromobility users…Transform Yonge represents one of North York’s most significant public-realm upgrades. This reconstruction offers a rare chance to widen sidewalks, add greenery and amenities, improve crossings, and deliver protected bike lanes that meet the needs of a modern urban centre.”
