The Regional Municipality of York is located north of the City of Toronto, and includes nine local municipalities, with a population of over 920,000. St. John's Sideroad, a Regional road, is located in the Town of Aurora and lies within the watershed of the East Holland River, under the management of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority. This unique project involves the widening and reconstruction of a two-kilometre section of St. John's Sideroad between Yonge Street and Bayview Avenue. The St. John's Sideroad project successfully overcame significant environmental, technical and funding issues. This and other unique project features will be described further in this paper and through an in-depth visual presentation that includes concept renderings of the proposed design improvements before being constructed, and photographs during and after construction. It will provide an interesting comparison of how the completed work closely matched the concept renderings that were prepared during the design. For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD number E211521.
