The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC), Vaughan’s downtown, is transforming into a transit-oriented community with unique residential, office and mixed-use areas linked by a network of parks, public squares open spaces and a street grid that allows for all types of transportation, including walking, driving and cycling. 

Due to rapid growth in the VMC and recent changes to municipal and regional legislation, the City has initiated an update to the existing VMC Secondary Plan. A secondary plan defines all the elements needed for successful growth, including new roads and active transportation routes, new open spaces and parks, policies to establish land uses, height and density permissions, and hard and soft infrastructure requirements. 

Public and stakeholder feedback is vital to the success of the plan update. Join the conversation that is helping shape the future of Vaughan’s downtown core. Participate in an online survey that will take approximately six minutes to complete and share ideas about the future of the VMC, including travel patterns to and from the area, uses for the places and spaces within the downtown core and ideas for future growth and development. The survey will be available until Jan. 22, 2021.
