The City of Vaughan is planning the future of the Weston Road and Highway 7 area. As one of Vaughan’s key development areas, various studies and plans are being done concurrently to help guide growth. This includes the Weston 7 Secondary Plan.

 

Now in phase two, the Weston 7 Secondary Plan will create a policy framework for growth and outline preferred land uses that incorporate housing options, retail and employment uses, community services, parkland and open space. The approximately 104-hectare study area is bounded by Fieldstone Drive, Chrislea Road and Portage Parkway to the north; the Highway 400 corridor to the east; the Highway 407 corridor, Rowntree Dairy Road and Trowers Road to the south; and Ansley Grove Road and Whitmore Road to the west. The area is also bisected by the Highway 7 Bus Rapid Transit and contains two Bus Rapid Transit stops.

 

Finalizing the plan for Council’s approval will take place during phase three, which is expected to be completed by the end of this year. This plan will guide the transformation of the Weston 7 area into a complete, vibrant, and active community.
