The City knows streets are best when they help everyone to feel connected, healthy and safe in their community, which is why this project is underway – to create a policy and resources to create streets where everyone feels welcomed.

Multiple opportunities across various channels will be provided for residents to get involved, add their voice to the conversation, discuss road safety concerns and share ideas for improving road safety in the community.

The goal of this toolbox is to help the City address road safety concerns and ensure appropriate traffic calming and speed management approaches are integrated into new and existing roads in Vaughan.
