Park & Road Improvements

The City will be installing traffic calming measures on Worthington Avenue from Bloomington Road to Yonge Street, to provide additional traffic safety measures for all Richmond Hill road users. These measures and any required signage will be installed by end of June 2026, weather conditions permitting.

Concern continues about the lack of a sidewalk on Yonge Street between Silver Maple Rd and Estate Garden Dr/Old Colony Rd. With no development planned, a permanent sidewalk may not be feasible. Pedestrians are forced onto a narrow shoulder beside fast-moving traffic. Staff are exploring interim safety measures like bollards, with York Region approval required. Please stay alert in the area.

Richmond Hill is implementing traffic calming measures on, Humberland and Greyfriars, based on its Council‑approved Traffic Safety and Operations Strategy. Installations will include flexible bollards, speed cushions, and tiger tail/ladder crossings. All measures and required signage are planned for completion by June 2026, weather permitting.

The City is preparing the detailed design for the Coons Road reconstruction, including new storm sewers, watermain replacement, sanitary repairs, pavement and sidewalk reconstruction, curb and gutter, boulevard grading, and streetlight upgrades. Construction is planned for spring 2027 pending budget approval. A Virtual Public Information Centre will be held on March 26, 2026, 6–8 p.m
