6. Yonge Street - From Dundas to Gerrard
The 300-blocks are set to transform significantly in the future. The recommendations within the Yonge Street Planning framework encourage developments that will allow the neighbourhood to intensify while retaining its low-rise heritage
at-grade, enhancing the fine-grained pedestrian network stemming from the main public realm spine of Yonge, and encouraging a diversity of programs to support the interests of both locals and tourists.
8. Yonge & Gerrard
Yonge Street closed to vehicular traffic during a street event. Periodically turning the roadway over to pedestrians and increasing foot traffic along the street both activates the public realm and supports local businesses.
9. OVERVIEW OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Four themes have been identified to guide the City & community in moving forward: Expand and improve the Fine-Grained Pedestrian Network Surrounding Yonge Street

23. 4 'URBAN VILLAGES'
There are 4 distinct mixed-use 'urban villages' that connect to the Downtown Yonge spine, COLLEGE STREET
which include:
CARLTON STREET
GRANBY STREET
SHEARD STREET
Each village has its own green space, but many remain overlooked since existing
1 2
connections to these hidden gems are inconspicuous. There is an opportunity to develop MCGILL STREET
a fine-grained pedestrian network that would enhance connections between these villages
and the overall neighbourhood.

· While plans to replace old sewers and water mains were being developed, the
City of Ottawa decided to use this opportunity to improve the condition of their
roadways as well. The rehabilitation of Bank Street will include the introduction of
wider sidewalks, decorative streetlights, public art and street furniture from the
Wellington Street to the Rideau Canal
· Initiated in 2004, the full Bank Street Reconstruction Project was broken down into
several phases. The final phase is expected to be completed by June 2012
