Get Involved in Kirby Road Widening Environmental Assessment
Public consultation is a vital part of the city-building process. The City of Vaughan is committed to engaging with citizens and stakeholders in a meaningful and transparent way on issues and matters that impact them.
The City of Vaughan has completed a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to Kirby Road between Jane Street and Dufferin Street. These improvements will address capacity and operational needs and accommodate planned growth in the area for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and motorists. The recommended Kirby Road improvements include widening from two to four lanes and urbanization, in-boulevard cycle tracks and sidewalks on both sides of the road, eliminating the jog at Kirby Road and Jane Street, and the grade Separation (underpass) of the Barrie Go Rail line.
An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared to document the study process, consultation efforts and recommended plan. The Notice of Completion places the ESR on public record for review for 30 days beginning Thursday, June 23, 2022 and ending July 22, 2022. The ESR can be downloaded on the Project Updates page. Please see the notice for details on the study and how to provide comments or questions on the ESR.
The Study has been completed in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule ‘C’ projects, as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental Assessment guidelines (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, and 2015). Personal information on this form is collected under the authority of the Municipal Act, 2001 and will be used for the purpose of administering the Kirby Road Widening Environmental Assessment Study (Jane to Dufferin Street). Questions about this collection can be directed to the Manager, Transportation Planning and Engineering, City of Vaughan, 2141 Major Mackenzie Drive, Vaughan ON L6A 1T1, 905-832-2281 ext. 8674.
