Delivering progress, strengthening communities

Vaughan’s Infrastructure Development portfolio presents the 2024 Delivery Report 

We’re building more than infrastructure – we’re building our city for you! 

To ensure the well-being of the community, the City of Vaughan is undertaking critical city-building initiatives to help ease the flow of people and goods, deliver parks and leisure spaces, uphold water and wastewater systems, preserve the environment, promote accessibility … and so much more. 

From roads and parks to community centres and environmental improvements, the City is investing in projects that support a high quality of life for all. The recently released 2024 Infrastructure Development Delivery Report (PDF) highlights the work completed and underway across Vaughan to build complete, connected and resilient neighbourhoods. These efforts reflect the City’s commitment to enhancing public spaces, supporting safe and sustainable growth, and meeting the needs of a growing population – today and into the future. 

Here are highlights on how these projects are coming to life: 

• The City invested $63.9 million in state of good repair projects and $94.5 million in growth-related projects, for a total of $158.4 million. The State of Good Repair Program improves the condition of the City’s current infrastructure assets, and the Growth-Related Program delivers new infrastructure to support growth, including community centres and roads.

QUOTES

“Vaughan is a city people dream of calling home – a place where they want to raise their families, start businesses and enjoy a high quality of life. Strong and stable leadership has been key to our success – and that leadership extends beyond City Hall to the dedicated professionals in the Infrastructure Development portfolio who are literally building our city. Together, we are making real progress in the fight against traffic gridlock, ensuring residents spend less time commuting and more time with their families. With our Nine-Point Action Plan to Reduce Traffic Gridlock, we are delivering results — projects like the Canada Drive-America Avenue Bridge, the Kirby Road and Bass Pro Mills Drive extensions, and road-widening initiatives are all examples of how we are transforming how people move across our city. As Mayor, I am proud to lead a city that is growing with purpose — where each project lays the foundation for a better future. This progress is only possible because of the dedication, expertise and relentless drive of our Infrastructure Development team. Let’s keep building our city – together.”

• Mayor Steven Del Duca
