yongeTOmorrow is a once in a lifetime opportunity to improve the public realm in our neighbourhood.

This project will increase pedestrian space and improve the way people move through and experience Yonge Street between College/Carlton Street and Queen Street and replace the watermain beneath Yonge Street.

Latest Update:

To facilitate this work, the yongeTOmorrow Phase 1 project team is in the process of hiring an engineering firm to complete the Preliminary Design, Operational Plan and Detailed Design.   Consultation with interested parties/persons will begin during the Preliminary Design and Operational Plan stage mid 2024. Consultation will include a range of methods to best capture feedback, including Advisory Group meetings, public event, outreach with business owners/operators, and collaboration with the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area.

Construction on yongeTOmorrow and the watermain replacement is estimated to being late 2026 (pending coordination and construction of Ontario Line).

In 2016, the City of Toronto launched an Environmental Assessment process to redesign Yonge Street of the future. The results of this study could mean expanded sidewalks, new public spaces, and even the full pedestrianization of Yonge Street.
