Toronto's Roncesvalles is into the second phase of its reconstruction. Roncesvalles Renewed is a group of residents, business owners, politicians, city planners, and transportation officials working together.
Our key priority was to ensure that plans include the conditions necessary for trees to flourish.

To show your support for a great street and to help our businesses get through this final phase, please buy and dine locally.

As Phase 1 of the reconstruction wraps up, it's time to look at all that has been achieved so far in planning for Phase 2 -- scheduled for June to December 2010.
