McNaughton Road West Environmental Assessment
Future improvements to McNaughton Road West
The City of Vaughan has completed a Schedule 'C' Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to McNaughton Road West between Major Mackenzie Drive and Falvo Street.
The study assessed operational performance improvements and urbanization of McNaughton Road West, and considered the inclusion of sidewalks, cycling facilities, and mid-block and trail crossings to support the connection to the proposed Vaughan Super Trail and Bartley Smith Greenway Trail. These improvements will aim to address capacity and operational needs to accommodate planned growth in the area for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and motorists.
The project can now proceed to the next phases for detailed design and construction anticipated to start in 2028.
