Rapidway median planting is now complete and crews are ready to begin planting trees, shrubs and perennials in the sidewalk planters along Davis Drive between Yonge Street and Patterson Street / Roxborough Road. Next week, crews will focus on the area between Yonge Street and Longford / Parkside Drive. Once complete, we will have an even more attractive, pedestrian-friendly place for people to live, work, shop and play.

work dates*: Monday, May 30 to Friday, June 3
work hours*: 7am-7pm

what you need to know:

• Temporary rolling curb-lane closures will be required to complete the work as crews move along the east and westbound lanes.
• YRT buses will continue to drop-off/pick-up at all regular stops. Please board at curbside stops and shelters as normal.
• Sidewalks will remain open.
• Noise and dust are associated with this work.

* Please note: as with other road construction projects, some work may be rescheduled due to weather. We’ll provide advance notice whenever possible.
