On the agenda

As the city filed it

The Downtown Yonge area has seen, and will continue to experience, an unprecedented amount of growth over the next five years, along with necessary investments to replace aging infrastructure. This has made it challenging to coordinate projects with public and private parties that often need to occupy the same right-of-way and use the same arterial roadways for the delivery of their construction materials. Toronto is committed to achieving pedestrian and road safety through initiatives like Vision Zero.
