In a bid to relieve congestion in Vaughan's emerging downtown, dubbed the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, the city has opened three new stretches of road.

JUST THE FACTS:

The newly opened roads are:

--Applewood Crescent from Highway 7 to Portage Parkway

--Commerce Street from Highway 7 to Apple Mill Road

--Apple Mill Road from Edgeley Boulevard to Applewood Crescent

Construction of these three new roads align with completion of the York Region Bus Rapidway Transit Station on Highway 7 at Commerce Street, in addition to the relocation of the Highway 400 off-ramp at Highway 7.

The city is also working on additional road enhancements in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre to be complete by 2021, including the widening and extension of Portage Parkway both east and west of Jane Street, and the reconstruction of Portage Parkway between Jane Street and Applewood Crescent.
