Have your say on the future of Yonge Street

Monday, March 30, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. at the Bathurst Clark Library

For the last number of months planning consultants hired by the City have been marching up and down Yonge Street (and Steeles Ave. from Hilda to Yonge), trying to figure out what would be the best way to plan the future for the Vaughan section of the longest street in the world. 

The study area includes all of Yonge Street (situated in the City of Vaughan) except for the Thornhill Village area which is already covered by a recently approved plan and is officially designated an Historic District. It considers the very different settings along the southern part of Yonge between Steeles and the RR bridge and the current structures of small plazas facing the Uplands area.  

As part of the process to come up with the draft plan, we have sponsored a variety of community meetings and exercises to get input from residents who may be most impacted by the plan. For example on March 12 about  twenty five residents of Crestwood Road came to a consultation session to talk about some ideas about how development on Steeles might impact upon their properties. At the meeting they were presented with the options and voted on their preference. That preference will be included in the draft plan.  

On Monday, March 30, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. at the Bathurst Clark Library a community consultation meeting will be held to unveil the draft plan and to consult with residents on their response to what is being proposed. This is your chance to have a say on this most important gateway street in our city.  

We want to hear from you. We value your comments on the future of our City.
