Western Vaughan Transportation Improvements IEA

The purpose of the EA is to identify potential transportation improvements in the south-west corner of the City of Vaughan to support planned growth to the year 2031. The EA covered the area east of Highway 50 to Highway 400, and south of Teston Road to Steeles Avenue.

The EA Report recommends:

• Widening Highway 27 to four lanes between Nashville Road and Major Mackenzie Drive
• Eliminating the jog at Major Mackenzie Drive and Highway 27
• Widening the following roads to six lanes with dedicated transit lanes/High Occupancy Vehicle lanes and bike lanes:

• Major Mackenzie Drive between Highway 50 and Highway 400
• Rutherford Road between Highway 50 and Weston Road
• Highway 27 between Major Mackenzie Drive and Steeles Avenue
• Pine Valley Drive between Highway 7 and Steeles Avenue
• Weston Road between Major Mackenzie Drive and Steeles Avenue
