New Westminster Drive Road Rehabilitation and Improvements Project

New Westminster Drive has been upgraded for all road users – drivers, transit riders, cyclists and pedestrians.

Image is of New Westminster Drive and how it currently looks. Image features cycle tracks and street traffic.

Work includes:

  • road resurfacing.
  • a new signalized mid-block pedestrian crossing.
  • upgrading existing lighting infrastructure. 
  • replacing sidewalk segments and upgrading crossings to meet accessibility standards.
  • upgrading 10 transit stops with new bus pads.
  • upgrading existing signalized mid-block pedestrian crossings. 
  • upgrading two signalized intersections.
  • construction of new in-boulevard cycle tracks.

 

These upgrades were made on approximately two kilometres of road, from Bathurst Street to Clark Avenue. These enhancements further complement the overall active transportation network withing the city and enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility. Construction finished in September 2024.

 

This project supports the City’s commitment to improve transportation and mobility, foster sustainable communities and create an active, safe and diverse city – all priorities highlighted in Vaughan’s strategic plan.
