The biggest problem is the absolutely awful access for anyone without a car. Kleinburg has become another popular weekend day trip destination (the gallery only a part of it), so traffic has gotten worse as well. But it’s an especially affluent part of Vaughan, so you’ll never get decent transit.

Any transit?

There are bus stops 600m away at the road entrance to McMichael and Islington. However, best I can figure they are only used by a YRT school special.

The Islington bus stops at Arista Gate, 3.8km to the south. Leaving one a 4.4km walk to the gallery.

An Uber? No thanks.

Astro Taxi then......as long as they do not show up in a pint sized Kia. (Another pet peeve. Why do we not have a standard and required taxi for the GTA? Something that takes four people, even if they are all 194 cm tall, and some luggage. As opposed to some dude driving a Corolla and operating his cleaning business out of the front seat - true event last week in Montreal. We should just licence build the LTI TXII as a hybrid, make it an AWD version, require winter tires in winter and bingo -say goodbye to pint sized Kias.)

Yes, the stop out front on Islington is a school route. Far from 'decent'.

The nearest regular service is 2.8km away at Islington and Napa Valley, served by the 13 (which has no weekend service) and the 85.

YRT's 6 route coming this year will stop at Major Mack and Islington, reducing the walk to sub-2km, but weekend service will be every 45ish.

The walk is also just not great at any distance lol.

That's one thing that needs to be fixed in revitalizing this place: A reasonably sustainable bus stop, IMO.

Surprised to see there's a YRT on-demand service for the Kleinburg-Nashville area: https://www.yrt.ca/en/schedules-and-maps/kleinburg-nashville.aspx

It might take some time but taking a Barrie Line train to Rutherford, then YRT service 85 westwards, and finally the on-demand service would seem to provide a service to the McMichael.
