Dec. 1, 2021

The Weston Road and Highway 7 area is changing. As one of Vaughan’s intensification areas, the City’s Weston 7 Secondary Plan aims to transform it into a distinct and complete community with commercial and retail opportunities, entertainment destinations, open spaces, services and facilities and more, all within walking distance to the Highway 7 Rapidway. Evolving the area to include housing and job options, and prioritizing active and sustainable transportation is also envisioned -- and your input is needed.

Previously, the community was invited to attend a virtual Public Meeting to learn more and get involved in the City’s growth planning for the area -- including the Weston 7 Secondary Plan Study and the supporting Weston 7 Transportation Master Plan Study. These presentation materials and a video recording of the session are available at vaughan.ca/Weston7.

Now until Friday, Dec. 10, citizens are encouraged to continue the conversation by submitting written comments via email at Weston7TMP@wsp.com. Residents can review all available materials on the project webpage and consider the following when providing feedback:

• What should travel should look like in the Weston 7 area over the next 30 years?
• How can trips be shifted towards taking transit, walking and cycling versus by car?
• What challenges are currently experienced when traveling around Weston 7?
