Planned Improvements

We heard you - we're making plans to connect the iconic Gull Lake Park, Gravenhurst Wharf and the downtown community, allowing residents and visitors to fully experience the distinct charm of these areas.
Here's a sneak peek at the improvements:

  • Creating more opportunities for active transportation
  • New multi-use trail from North Muldrew Lake Road to the Gravenhurst Farmers’ Market
  • New, improved parking area to better accommodate the busy Farmers Market
  • Upgrades to the Steamship Bay, Muskoka Road North/South, and Bethune intersections - traffic signals and enhancements to accessibility
  • New pedestrian crosswalk downtown at Sharpe Street and Muskoka Road South
  • New street lights from Cherokee Lane to Greavette Street
  • New, smooth driving surfaces
  • Replacement of sidewalks and curbs
  • and replacement of the 80 year-old water pipes, watermains, storm and sanitary sewers underground - to keep Gravenhurst connected.
