Overview

Drainage improvement measures are being carried out on a portion of Station Road from Old Homestead Road to Hubbard Street. At the same time, a multi-use pathway or sidewalk will be established along a portion of Old Homestead Road from Forestry Drive to the sidewalk along Station Road.

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 on a portion of 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.
  • The main elements of the design phase of the engineering assignment include investigations, preliminary design, detailed design and tendering.
