Here are some frequently asked questions about the project:
Why is Kleinburg Village being improved?
Kleinburg Village is a picturesque and historic area located within Ward 1. Supported by the Kleinburg Business Improvement Area, Kleinburg is home to more than 60 retail and service businesses, as well as schools, libraries, parks, art galleries and residences. The Kleinburg Village corridor and the surrounding area have rapidly changed in the last decade with high-density development, including residential and mixed-use buildings, resulting in a larger urbanized area. The City is undertaking the Kleinburg Village Improvements Project to address this growth and ensure municipal infrastructure can continue to support the community for years to come. The project area extends along Islington Avenue from Major Mackenzie Drive to Highway 27, along Nashville Road from Highway 27 to Islington Avenue, and along Stegman’s Mill Road from Islington Avenue to Teston Road. As part of the study, we did an extensive review of the infrastructure in Kleinburg Village to prioritize what needed to be completed and in what order – including watermain replacement, road reconstruction and enhancements, such as additional trees, art in public spaces and areas that encourage walking and cycling.
What work is being done now?
Important underground infrastructure improvements, such as watermain replacements and road rehabilitation, as well as enhancements such as adding cycling facilities, more parking areas, roadway and pedestrian lighting, streetscaping and landscape features and more will be completed as part of this project.
When is construction starting and when will it end?
Construction is expected to begin in spring 2024 and is anticipated to be complete in summer 2026.
Has the City consulted the public on this project?
Public input has been integral to this project since it began in 2015. Opportunities for feedback were provided throughout the following projects related to the area:
Village of Kleinburg – Islington Avenue Streetscape Master Plan Study (PDF)
Village of Kleinburg – Islington Avenue Streetscape Phase 1 (PDF)
Islington Avenue Land Use Study, Urban Design Guidelines (PDF)
Will businesses stay open during construction?
Yes! Kleinburg Village will still be open for business. You are encouraged to continue to support local stores, restaurants and organizations throughout construction. Alternate temporary parking will be made available in the area (just north of the Village) when the work begins.
