I'm not exactly sure how to interpret the plan for East Gwillimbury. York Region is working with the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) to identify potential route alignment for future trail extensions in East Gwillimbury.

On Road Sections are mainly in the Town of Georgina. A vast majority of that is along Lake Dr which they lowered the speed limit to 30 km/hr. Shared Road signs. There was a Lake Drive Functional Assessment Study done in 2023 to assess options to improve safety without widening.

I don't think the route goes along Metro Rd N. It's mainly along Lake Drive. It's a 30km/h shared road, though there's recent plans to also make improvements to it.

In terms of what's proposed, I believe you're right, but Metro Road does show was a bike route now on their map:

How far north? The Ontario Line clear cut starts about 1.2km north of Pottery Rd.

Here's the slide deck for the Ontario Line work in the area; which does include stabilization work on the DVP embankment.


If its not that, I'm not sure what it is offhand.

Amazing! I think it is the Minton Portal and DVP slope stabilization. Thanks

Lots of goodies here for study/design. Dupont, College West, Yonge, 401 crossings at Avenue and Leslie...
Seeing all of the RapidTO corridors are on here - but Dufferin and Jane both only go as far south as Eglinton. I would take that as a hint as to what their plans are with the study areas for those routes, given the road width constraints south of there.

Am I reading approved for future implementation as being furthest away from constructed?

I wouldn't automatically infer that.

For instance, you can see that this applies to a section of Steeles East which is going to be widened, in the case the high level design is substantially complete, but the project will be delivered when Steeles widened.

But still to be built in the short term? I'm just trying to understand why put items that aren't going to be built in the near term on a map with this title?

The work is currently programmed for 2027. As with anything that's not this year, the exact date is not a lock. But it does fall within the plan time range.
 
A consultation is coming up on future cycling facilities on Trethewey:

well good news and bad news.

good news: the wellington bikeway extension is going forward

bad news: it only goes to york and turns down to union.
worse news: its "secondary prioritized" where to bring it to church other projects need to be deferred

on the bright side, that means theyre overloaded with work i guess

2 other things caught my eye. A small little stub bike lane on bremner from Spadina to the rogers center
and a front street bike lane from bathurst that ends at blue jays way
