Bay and Beyond Background
Ever wonder where your toilet water goes or how clean drinking water gets to your tap? The Bay and Beyond infrastructure project is a three-year partnership with the District of Muskoka and the Town of Gravenhurst, designed to upgrade the critical underground systems that have been in place since 1944. This project will ensure the reliable delivery of clean drinking water and efficient wastewater management, services we often don't think about.
Here's a glimpse at more improvements as part of the Bay and Beyond project:
- Creating more opportunities for active transportation
- New multi-use trail from North Muldrew Lake Road to the Wharf Sports Field
- New, improved parking area at the Wharf Sports Field
- Upgrades to intersections and traffic signals, including 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 and improved drainage
- Replacement of sidewalks and curbs
- and replacement of the 80 year-old water pipes, watermains, storm and sanitary sewers underground - to keep Gravenhurst connected.
