Markham's development plan for the Yonge and Steeles area has been released. View it here
The highlights are as follows:
-complete redevelopment of the properties on the east side of Yonge St. to Dudley between Steeles and Elgin.
-properites on the east side of Yonge between Elgin and Centre St. already fall under the Thornhill development plan, which also calls for medium to high density redevelopment.
-500+ people and jobs/ha at Yonge and Steeles
-about 500 people plus jobs/ha at Yonge and Clark
-200-300 people plus jobs/ha along the rest of Yonge, within 500m of a subway station
-the existing street grid, which very much resembles the NYCC street grid, will form the basis of the development area
At this rate, a continuous street wall on Yonge between Steeles and Centre St. is shaping up on the Markham side of Yonge St. Markham at least is getting ready for the subway.
