Portage Parkway Widening and Easterly Extension to Creditstone Road

 

 
In May 2015, the City  of Vaughan  initiated an Environmental Assessment Study for  Portage Parkway Widening and Extension to Creditstone Road, a strategic network improvement in the Vaughan Transportation Master Plan – A New Path (2013).

The City of Vaughan Transportation Master Plan (TMP)  – A New Path (2013), companion to the City of Vaughan Official Plan (2010), identified projects that will improve connections to local and regional infrastructure, provide access to future developments, support transit-oriented nodes and corridors, and enhance transit ridership, cycling and walking.


Study Purpose

The TMP identified the need to widen Portage Parkway 
to four lanes from Applewood Crescent to Jane Street, and establish a new four lane road from Jane Street to Creditstone Road as  a key element of the planned street network in support of the  Vaughan Metropolitan Centre.

The Study is progressing to completion in accordance with "Schedule C" of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for the following projects:
  • Portage Parkway Widening and Easterly Extension to West of Black Creek (Part A) - COMPLETE
  • Portage Parkway Extension from West of Black Creek to Creditstone Road (Part B) - COMPLETE

Study Process and Timeline - COMPLETE

 

                                          

Consultation

A key component of the study included consultation with interested stakeholders (public and agencies). Two Public Information Centres (PICs) were held to present the study, review the study scope and discuss issues related to the project including alternative solutions, alternative designs, evaluation criteria, and environmental impacts and mitigation measures.
