Black Creek Renewal Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study
Page Content



The City of Vaughan previously completed the Black Creek Storm Water Optimization Study Master Plan Class Environmental Assessment (EA). The study identified a range of alternative solutions to reduce flooding and flood damages, improve water quality and limit stream bank erosion in Black Creek. The preferred solution to address flooding was determined to be the reconstruction and renewal of Black Creek between the Edgeley Pond (north of Highway 7) and Highway 407.

The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) Black Creek Renewal Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study will consider different potential alignments and physical forms for Black Creek within the study area and establish a plan for the renewal of Black Creek that will be compatible with the proposed land uses within the study area.  

THE STUDY AREA

The study area is located east of Jane Street, from south of Highway 7 to north of Highway 407, as highlighted on the following map.
   

BACKGROUND

The VMC Black Creek Renewal Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study, which is intended to establish the alignment and form of Black Creek through the south-east quadrant of the VMC Secondary Plan Area, initially started in 2012. Early in the process, it became apparent there were a number of conflicting interests in the size, alignment and configuration of a reconstructed and renewed Black Creek valley corridor between the landowners and review agencies. An extensive consultation and facilitation process took place over 2013 and 2014 with directly affected landowners and agencies to better understand key issues, opportunities and constraints.

Subsequent to the consultation and facilitation process described above, the Allocation of Funding Sources Report and Development Charge Background Study - Black Creek Financial Strategy (PDF) was carried out to establish the framework for funding a number of projects within the VMC Secondary Plan, including potential realignment and renewal of Black Creek.

The financial strategy (PDF) was approved by Vaughan Council in June 2016.
