MARKHAM, ON, Dec. 22, 2015 /CNW/ – This year, significant progress was made on the implementation of the York Region Viva Bus Rapid Transit (vivaNext).
The Davis Drive rapidway in Newmarket opened in November. This new “Yellow” Viva route travels within dedicated median transit lanes from Yonge Street to Roxborough Road, and continues in mixed traffic with curbside stops and a turn-around at the new park and ride facility at Highway 404. The park and ride facility opened at the same time, and was built in partnership with GO Transit, York Region and the Ministry of Transportation. GO buses will begin service to the new park and ride lot in January 2016, and together, these projects will provide enhanced connections between GO and Viva. Full boulevard works including landscaping and sidewalks will be completed in spring 2016. Once this work is complete, Davis Drive will have sidewalks lined with 470 trees and more than 21,000 shrubs and perennial plants.
