A Complete Street is defined as a street that is safe and accessible for people of all ages and abilities whether they are walking, biking, taking public transit or driving. The City of Vaughan is developing Complete Streets Guidelines to help guide the planning, design, operation and maintenance of the City’s street network to create spaces that will allow all road users to travel safely and enjoyably. When complete, the guidelines will also help City planners incorporate the proper necessities such as seating, streetlights and infrastructure when building or updating public streets. 

When complete, the approach will also provide a strategic planning lens and overall policy context to guide transportation planning, capital infrastructure projects, development applications review, streetscape design and construction.
