Canada Drive-America Avenue Bridge Project
The Canada Drive-America Avenue Bridge project is making headway. Through previous public feedback opportunities, the City has compiled key findings and results. Citizens are invited to attend a virtual Public Information Session on Thursday, June 10 at 7 p.m. to join the conversation, learn more about next steps and view proposed streetscape and landscape design concepts. Attendees will also have the opportunity to speak directly to the project team and ask questions. Register online to attend. Learn more at vaughan.ca/CDAABridge.
VMC Parks and Wayfinding Master Plan
The City is creating a vibrant centre for people to live, work and play within the downtown core – the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC). As part of this evolution, the VMC Parks and Wayfinding Master Plan is underway to guide the development of parks and open space, in addition to creating a signage strategy to make the area easier to navigate. As the study continues, public feedback is once again requested – visit vaughan.ca/VMCParks to learn more about the current direction of the master plan, get involved and share feedback on park features, character, access and more. Have your say by participating in an online survey or virtual ideas board, available until Wednesday, June 30.
Stormwater management pond upgrades
The City is committed to enhancing its communities and fostering sustainable growth for generations to come – and that includes making improvements to stormwater management facilities. On Wednesday, June 2 and Thursday, June 3, you are invited to attend virtual Public Information Centres to learn more about the work planned for Blackburn Pond, Franklin Avenue Pond and Pondview Pond, including timelines, construction impacts and the benefits of these improvements. Visit vaughan.ca/SWMF to register.
