EVENT DETAILS:

Hilton Garden Inn – Toscana Room B
3201 Highway 7 (at Interchange Way), Vaughan
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
The City of Vaughan is in the midst of creating a new Official Plan to guide the City’s growth over the next twenty-five years. The emerging vision for the City includes a “vibrant and thriving downtown” in the area known as the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) – formerly the Vaughan Corporate Centre (VCC), and is being planned near the intersection of Highway 7 and Jane Street. The extension of the Spadina Subway to Vaughan and the need to accommodate new residents and jobs in the VMC sets the stage for building a downtown - a distinctive place and centre for business, culture, commerce and living. A study of the VMC is now underway and will result in a new Official Plan, zoning by-law and design guidelines for the area. To ensure the new plan reflects the needs and aspirations of Vaughan citizens, public participation in the Study is vital.
MEETING PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Public Information Meeting is to present an overview of the Draft Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Secondary Plan for information and feedback. The goal of the plan is to create a vibrant and sustainable downtown that serves all Vaughan citizens. The Draft Plan sets out a framework of streets, open spaces and land uses for the VMC and contains policies to guide infrastructure planning, built form and public realm improvements.
Members of the public are encouraged to attend this meeting to provide their insight, and to continue to play an important role in the planning process for the City of Vaughan.
