Overview

Drainage improvement measures are being carried out along Station Road from Old Homestead Road to Pefferlaw Road. This will include new curbs and sidewalks from Old Homestead Road to Hubbard Street, and isolated improvements from Hubbard Street to Pefferlaw Road.

At the same time, a new multi-use pathway (MUP) will be constructed along Old Homestead Road from Forestry Drive to Station Road to increase safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Several safety measures were incorporated into the MUP design including speed humps, increased signage and a new pedestrian crosswalk.

Background

  • Concerns have been raised by residents and Town staff due to frequent ponding of water and accumulation of loose gravel and sand on the sidewalk and edge of the pavement along a portion of Station Road. These conditions pose safety concerns and increase maintenance efforts.
  • There is also an opportunity to improve the pedestrian and cyclist connection between Station Road, the pedestrian bridge on the Pefferlaw River and the Woodlands subdivision with access to York Regional trails. Creation of this connection will enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety while supporting additional active transportation in Georgina.
  • The objectives of the project include design and construction of:
    • The necessary drainage improvements along Station Road
    • A multi-use pathway or sidewalk along a portion of Old Homestead Road
  • In October 2024, Chisholm Fleming and Associates was awarded the engineering assignment for the project.
  • In October 2025, the Regional Municipality of York transferred ownership of Old Homestead Road to the Town of Georgina, from Weirs Sideroad to Station Road.
  • The main elements of the design phase of the engineering assignment include investigations, preliminary design, detailed design and tendering.
  • Chisholm Fleming and Associates will also carry out the inspection and contract administration during the construction phase.
