About the Project
York Region is conducting a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for improvements to Jane Street between Teston Road and Kirby Road in the City of Vaughan.
This study will build on York Region’s 2022 Transportation Master Plan and examine how to complete the identified infrastructure and active transportation improvements while lessening environmental impacts.
The plan
In the Environmental Assessment Act, an environmental assessment is a planning and decision-making process used to promote environmentally responsible decision-making and ensures interested individuals have an opportunity to comment on projects that may affect them.
Included in this assessment is mandatory public and stakeholder consultation in accordance with consultation principles set out in the Code of Practice. Public consultation protects the public interest and helps ensure concerns are identified early in the process and addressed where possible before construction begins.
The public and interested parties will have the opportunity to find out more about the project, proposed improvements and provide input and feedback through an Online Open House, which will be held throughout the study period. Input opportunities will be communicated through advertisements in local publications, road signs, York Region’s Facebook and X channels and on this webpage.
Individuals interested in receiving updates about the project can subscribe to the study mailing list.
Once input opportunities are complete, comments, concerns and feedback will be included in a final Environmental Study Report, which will be posted on this webpage for a 30-day review period, at which time the study will then be deemed complete. The anticipated date of completion is February 2026.
This study is being conducted in accordance with Schedule ‘C’ of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (2023). Personal information submitted (e.g. name, address and phone number) is collected, maintained and disclosed under the authority of the Environmental Assessment Act and the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for transparency and consultation purposes. Personal information submitted will become part of the public record that is available to the general public, unless it is requested that the personal information remain confidential.
What this means for you
Public consultation is an important part of the Environmental Assessment Study process and York Region welcomes feedback from residents and interested parties throughout the study. This is an opportunity for local area residents and interested parties to provide input on how Jane Street should be improved to better meet the transportation needs of the community now and into the future.
Input and feedback collected through the open house and direct communications throughout the study period will be reviewed, considered and incorporated in the final design of the project where possible.
Following public input opportunities, a final report known as an Environmental Study Report (ESR), which outlines the process of the study and includes all feedback received, will be posted on this page for review before the study is considered complete.
