Streetscaping is a term “that refers to is used to describe the natural and built fabric of the street, and defined as the design quality of the street and its visual effect.” The concept recognizes that a street is a public place where people are able to engage in various activities. Streetscapes and their visual experience largely influences public places where people interact, and it ultimately helps define a community’s aesthetic quality, economic activity, health, and sustainability.
In 2014, York Region identified a capital
improvement program in this area aligning a
streetscaping project with a capital project. This
allowed the municipality to access additional
funding through the Municipal Streetscaping
Partnership Grant Program.
Vehicle access will be provided most times
during the construction period.
Direct access to driveways may be occasionally
interrupted. During periods when access is not
available, please park in a safe alternative
location. The contractor will provide prior notice
for any access restrictions.
What improvements are part of the streetscaping project?
Improvements will include sidewalks, benches,
street furniture like garbage cans and bicycle
racks, gardens and flower beds, banner and flower
poles, and Nobleton signage.
