Online self-guided Public Information Centre and survey available until March 12
The City of Vaughan is looking to make improvements along Teston Road by creating more pedestrian-oriented spaces, encouraging cycling and enhancing safety measures for all who walk, bike or drive through the area. To help understand the needs of the community, the City has launched a Teston Road Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Study – and citizens are invited to have their say, virtually. Visit vaughan.ca/TestonRoad to take part in an online self-guided Public Information Centre and participate in a subsequent survey to provide input on key findings, issues, solutions and more. The content will be available until Friday, March 12.

The content will be available until Friday, March 12.
The study will look at the area on Teston Road from 250 metres west of Pine Valley Drive to Kleinburg Summit Way. It will review opportunities and improvements for:
- operational and safety issues, such as reduced visibility, pavement deterioration, improper guardrail placement, signage and more
- environmental impacts
- roadway capacity for current and projected traffic
- vehicular, pedestrian and cyclist operations and opportunities
- intersection operations
Phase one of this study is currently underway and includes collecting background information on the area and conducting field investigations such as natural environment surveys, cultural heritage and archaeological investigations, drainage assessments and more. Widening the road for increased vehicular traffic is not anticipated as part of this study.
As public engagement is vital to the development and success of this study, the City encourages citizens to join the conversation – virtually. The online self-guided Public Information Centre has been arranged for individuals to learn more about the project, review key findings, share concerns, comment on solutions, provide input on development and design options, be made aware of anticipated impacts and more. Feedback collected will help the City understand what is important to citizens and consider these opinions in the study recommendations. The presentation and survey will be available at vaughan.ca/TestonRoad until Friday, March 12.
