King Street Rejuvenation
The Town has been planning the revitalization of King Street from Bayshore Drive to Yonge Street for a number of years. Tatham Engineering, in partnership with Envision-Tatham, was retained to complete the detailed designed work required for this project which resulted in a complete rejuvenation of King St.
The rejuvenation includes but isn't limited to:
- New Sanitary System
- New Storm System
- New Watermain
- New Road alignment and parking configurations
- Reconfiguration as a flexible street design with movable bollards
- New traffic signals
- New pedestrian crossings
- New landscape features
The Town of Midland has a rich history and King Street being the focal point for the town plays a large role in this. This rejuvenation project will help maintain this history as well update the downtown to today's standards and solidify Midland as a leader in North Simcoe and a top tourist destination.
