Block 27 Environmental Assessment

Building on the recommendations of the North Vaughan New Communities Transportation Master Plan, the City of Vaughan is working together with the Block 27 Landowners Group Inc. to undertake a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to determine the preferred design of the collector road network for the new community in Block 27.

In the plan, it was recommended that the City builds a network of collector roads that considers auto, transit, cycling and pedestrian needs for Block 27 to accommodate both existing residents and new residents to 2031 and beyond. A collector road is a medium-sized municipal street(s) that connect the main street network to the local street network. Collectors are characterized by a balance of access and mobility.

The Block 27 Collector Roads Municipal Class Environmental Assessment will complete the remaining Phase 3 and Phase 4 processes, building on the completion of Phase 1 and Phase 2 conducted through the North Vaughan and New Communities Transportation Master Plan.

Phase 3: Generate alternative designs for the preferred solution from the North Vaughan and New Communities Transportation Master Plan.

Phase 4: Complete the Environmental Study Report, which brings together the existing conditions review, future conditions analysis, alternative solutions and designs, the preferred design solution and implementation and mitigation measures.
