Service areas include:

Keele Street Multi-use Pathway

An accessible multi-use pathway has been constructed along Keele Street, extending from Teston Road to Kirby Road. Located at the gateway to North Maple Regional Park (11067 Keele St.), the City’s signature 900-acre park, it enables residents and visitors access to the park and trail network. The pathway was substantially completed in August 2023 and work around the intersection of Keele Street and Vaughan CARES Way will be completed in 2024.

The City of Vaughan maintains approximately 1,200 kilometres of community roads through the Pavement Management Program. This program helps fix and preserve city roadways, ensuring safe mobility for everyone who uses them.

The Yonge North Subway Extension (YNSE) is happening!

The YNSE extends the TTC’s Line 1 service north through the Yonge-Steeles corridor from Finch Station to Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan. This inter-regional project will transform the way people travel to and through the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) with approximately eight kilometres of track spanning four additional subway stations.

HR also manages and evaluates pay, develops recommendations about policies and procedures, and ensures compliance with relevant legislation, such as the Province of Ontario’s Employee Standards and the Pay Equity acts. This positions the City to attract and retain qualified employees, while remaining competitive in the labour market.

The City is taking steps to reduce energy use and costs by changing approximately 25,000 streetlights from the current high pressure sodium to light-emitting diode (LED) technology through the City-wide LED Streetlight Retrofit Program.

The Vaughan Mills Centre Secondary Plan will provide a planning framework for an important intensification area in the City of Vaughan. Vaughan Mills Centre is subject to development applications that propose primarily mixed use developments with heights and densities generally higher than what is provided for along Primary Intensification Corridors.

A Secondary Plan Study is required to adequately address such issues as:

The Weston Road and Highway 7 (Weston 7) area is generally 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.
