We’d like to thank all the people who continue to support our local shops and businesses along Yonge Street during construction. If you haven’t visited us lately, we can help you find just what you’re looking for. After all, we’re your neighbours too—Shop Yonge!
The next generation of rapid transit is coming to Yonge Street in the form of dedicated bus rapidways—providing fast, reliable and convenient transit to support growth in Newmarket and Richmond Hill.
Dedicated bus rapidways are a significant part of the vivaNext plan to design and build a rapid transit network to connect York Region’s urban centres and enrich our communities. It will reinforce the strong north-south and east-west connections to other regional centres and other modes of public transit. It will also help revitalize and reshape this important corridor with even more attractive, pedestrian-friendly places for people to live, work, shop and play.

Newmarket - now open!• On January 5, 2020, the rapidway on Yonge Street in Newmarket
opened for service.
• On Yonge Street in Newmarket, the rapidway runs from Davis Drive to Savage Road/Sawmill Valley Drive.
• Buses headed south on Yonge Street connect with the Richmond Hill Centre Terminal, which connects with routes in Vaughan and Markham, and the future Yonge North Subway Extension.
• Buses headed north on Yonge connect with the Newmarket Bus Terminal, offering connections to the Davis Drive rapidway, trains at the Newmarket GO Station, the Southlake Regional Health Centre, and will continue to the Highway 404 Park & Ride.
Richmond Hill• In Richmond Hill, the rapidway will run from 19th Avenue/
Gamble Road to just north of Levendale Road.
• In the heritage area south of Levendale, Viva will continue to drive in mixed traffic as it does today.
• Once through the heritage area, Viva will re-enter the rapidway from Major Mackenzie Drive to Highway 7.
• Buses headed south on Yonge will connect with the Richmond Hill Centre Terminal, which connects with routes in Vaughan and Markham, and the future Yonge North Subway Extension.

preserving heritageLocated between two segments of rapidway in Richmond Hill, between Major Mackenzie Drive and Levendale Road, is the heritage area. This urban-style destination is packed with independent shops, heritage buildings, entertainment venues and public spaces. It’s a favourite spot for locals and people from around York Region to visit and enjoy.
In this area, Viva will travel in mixed traffic as it does today, entering and exiting the rapidway on either side of the heritage area.
transitions and priority signalsOne of the ways Viva will stay ahead of traffic in the heritage area and maintain its fast, efficient service is through the use of merge lanes. These merge lanes are for Viva vehicles only, with separate transit signals, allowing them to transition seamlessly in and out of the rapidways.
This ensures a safe transition to mixed traffic lanes and prevents service delays.
