Vaughan residents have from Thursday, Aug. 19 to Thursday, Sept. 16 to participate in a virtual public information centre on extending Vaughan’s Bass Pro Mills Drive.

The city wants to extend Bass Pro Mills from Hwy. 400 to Weston Road, as recommended in the Vaughan Mills Centre Secondary Plan in 2014.

“The city values the voice of its citizens and is dedicated to promoting a dialogue with the community that is open, transparent, accessible, and inclusive,” the city said in a release.

The session includes a narrated presentation and comment form, available at www.vaughan.ca/BassProMillsEA.

These recommendations were made to:

Provide a new east-west transportation network between Hwy. 400 and Weston Road, including a new route for York Region Transit.

Help distribute east-west traffic and alleviate congestion along Rutherford Road to the north.

Support future growth and development within the plan area.

Develop a safe and effective environment for active transportation users.
