Teston Road Area Improvements
The Regional Municipality of York is completing an individual Environmental Assessment (IEA) Study in the City of Vaughan to identify road improvements in the Teston Road area from Highway 400 to Bathurst Street and from Major Mackenzie Drive West to Kirby Road.
As required under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act, York Region is releasing the draft IEA Study Report for public review.
To address transportation challenges in the area, the study considered improvements for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and transit. Consultation with interested and/or affected parties is an essential part of the planning process and allows for identification and response to issues before decisions are made.
The draft IEA Report is available below for review and comment from November 8, 2024 to December 22, 2024.
The Teston Road IEA Study will be submitted to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks for review and approval following the public review period.
To submit a question, comment or request to be added to the project mailing list, please contact us at @email or 1-877-464-9675 ext. 75000.
