Garage Door Repair in Yonge & Davis Corridor, Newmarket

The Yonge Street and Davis Drive corridors are where Newmarket's growth is being directed. The Urban Centres Secondary Plan describes both as transitioning from lower-density, auto-oriented uses toward a mixed-use, pedestrian-inclusive community of 33,000 residents and 32,000 jobs, across a plan area of roughly 290 hectares of which about 130 hectares are prime for redevelopment. Upper Canada Mall opened at the northwest corner of Yonge and Davis in 1974 and now runs to around a million square feet and 250 stores. The Davis Drive Rapidway, with dedicated bus lanes from Yonge Street to Southlake, was completed in November 2015.

This is not a private-garage landscape and it would be dishonest to write it as one. New building in the corridor is predominantly mixed-use with structured or underground parking, so the residential garage doors in this area sit on the older side streets and townhome blocks that flank Yonge and Davis rather than in the towers. That said, the corridor matters to garage work in two ways. It is where much of the town's construction traffic and lane closure activity happens, which affects access times. And Newmarket has very little designated greenfield land left, so intensification here is what growth looks like from now on.
