This fall, we’re installing “Slow Down” boulevard signs across the city including on Greyfriars Avenue (between Blackforest Dr. and Coons Rd.) to remind drivers to travel safely in our neighbourhoods. These signs are part of a City-wide traffic safety pilot project. We’ll be monitoring their impact and gathering feedback from residents over the next year.

York Region has completed improvements to King Road from Yonge Street to Bond Crescent. Upgrades include a rebuilt roadway, new watermain and storm sewers, improved intersections at Parker Ave. and Yonge, upgraded streetlights, a continuous south-side sidewalk, stormwater quality measures, and a new YRT passenger area. Thank you to residents, businesses, and travellers for your patience during construction.

We’re excited to partner with Oak Ridges Turtles and Turtle Guardians on a pilot Turtle Nest Box Program at Channel Gate Parkette, Lake Wilcox Channel, and North Lake Road. 🐢 These 2’x2’ wooden nest boxes with wire mesh help protect eggs from predators like raccoons, giving hatchlings a better chance to survive. Boxes will be removed once the turtles emerge in late summer, fall, or spring. A small step with a big impact for local wildlife! 🌱💚
