Do you live, work or play in the Martin Grove Road area (south of Highway 27 and north of Highway 7)? Do you have ideas to address road safety in this community? If so, we want to hear from you!

 

The City of Vaughan is undertaking a series of studies designed to respond to growing transportation demands and the need to address road safety and sustainable modes of travel, known as the Corridor Reviews. A corridor refers to a linear road and its associated land uses.

 

Here’s how you can get involved: 

  • Attend a virtual information session on Thursday, March 21 at 1:30 p.m. or 7 p.m. This is your chance to hear from the project team and ask questions. Registration is encouraged.
  • Complete an online survey before end of day on Sunday, March 31 to provide you an opportunity to provide feedback with respect to traffic, transportation and safety along the corridor.
  • Use the interactive  map before end of day on Sunday, March 31 to identify where you see opportunities to enhance road safety along Martin Grove Road.

 

Why is the City doing a study in this area?

 

This area was selected based on community interests, such as monitoring traffic congestion, traffic circulation, truck traffic movements, operating speeds, pedestrian and cycling safety and on-street curbside activity. The high population of older adults in this area was another consideration.


By assessing traffic operations in the area, the City can identify opportunities to address road safety and the overall transportation experience for all users – including those who walk, cycle, roll, take transit or drive on or around Martin Grove Road. In addition to examining vehicle speeds, traffic volumes, site conditions and existing traffic control and calming measures, City staff will work with the community to collect feedback on existing conditions and propose recommendations.

 

These reviews will enable City staff to develop short- and long-term plans to continue to implement best practices identified along Martin Grove Road.
