The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) is Vaughan’s emerging downtown. The City is undertaking the VMC Parks and Wayfinding Master Plan to guide the timely development of parks and open space in the VMC and create a world-class public realm. It includes the creation of a signage strategy to make it easier to navigate this area. The study presents a rare opportunity to think boldly about the city, the way people understand and move through it, and the role of parks and open space in modern urban life.
 
Establishing a network of high-quality parks and open space will be an essential part of the VMC’s infrastructure – and community input is vital to its success. Last fall, through an online survey, citizens shared that:
  • parks and open spaces are the most important factor when determining where to live.
  • people are willing to walk for up to 15 minutes to get to a park.
  • people are willing to drive or take transit for at least 15 minutes to use a larger sports field.
Collecting feedback from the community continues to be vital to the success of this plan. Through collaboration with residents and stakeholders, the City is committed to developing a Parks and Wayfinding Master Plan that is innovative, accessible, sustainable and safe, and fosters connectivity, physical activity, health and wellness for all citizens.
 
As the study progresses, public feedback is once again requested. Watch a video and learn more about the current direction of the master plan and share feedback on park features, character, access and more. Have your say by participating in an online survey and virtual ideas board until Wednesday, June 30.
