Municipalities have been busy this summer and fall with many infrastructure projects. And, transit agencies have been busy diverting or adjusting their regular services so that they could continue to serve passengers during the construction season.
(The large number of construction projects may have resulted from provincial and federal funds to create construction jobs and stimulate local economies.)
As winter approaches, many of these projects are winding down and transit services are settling back into their regular schedules and routines for the winter.
Projects affecting transit that we’ve been watching and that have now ended for the season — or permanently — include:
- Burton Avenue in Barrie.
- Bathurst Street — two projects, one in King, Richmond Hill and Vaughan and one in Richmond Hill and Vaughan.
- Highway 7 in Markham and Vaughan.
- Kingston Road — two projects, one in Ajax and one in Pickering.
- Leslie Street in Markham.
- McLaughlin Road North in Brampton.
- Sheridan College’s Davis Campus in Brampton.
- Warden Avenue in Markham.
- Weston Road in Vaughan.
- Yonge Street — two projects in Richmond Hill.
