McNaughton Road West Environmental Assessment
Future improvements to McNaughton Road West
The City of Vaughan is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study for improvements to McNaughton Road West between Major Mackenzie Drive and Falvo Street.
The study will assess operational performance improvements and urbanization of McNaughton Road West, considering the inclusion of sidewalks, cycling facilities, and mid-block and trail crossings to support the connection to the proposed Vaughan Super Trail and Bartley Smith Greenway Trail. These improvements will aim to address capacity and operational needs to accommodate planned growth in the area for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and motorists.

Your initial input from Public Information Centre 1 helped inform the study recommendations – now, you can learn more about what’s proposed and share your thoughts before plans are advanced. Here’s how:
On Thursday, April 18, a virtual meeting was held to share information about the proposed improvements – including draft designs and locations for cycling facilities, streetscaping and trail crossings, planned intersection improvements, safety and more. Thanks to all who attended.
Did you miss the meeting? You can still have a say! A recording of the meeting, the presentation slides and draft design roll plan will be published on this webpage by Thursday, April 25. Review them and share your thoughts through the online feedback form until Friday, May 17.

Answer
McNaughton Road was first built as an access to the City landfill site. As the City experiences rapid growth and development, the area around McNaughton Road has transformed. Some notable changes include:
- Maple Go Station – McNaughton Road connects to the Maple GO station area, which is expected to experience increased use as Metrolinx plans to increase its service to all-day two-way service as part of the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion project. Work on the grade separation of the GO rail line at McNaughton Road (just east of Falvo Street) is currently under review by Metrolinx, amongst other improvements planned for the GO station area.
- McNaughton Road East Improvements – The addition of active transportation facilities along McNaughton Road East from Keele Street to Major Mackenzie Drive.
- Major Mackenzie Drive Improvements – Road reconstruction project including the addition of cycling facilities from Jane to just east of Keele Street, and the addition of a left turn lane at Keele Street.
- Keele Street Improvements – Watermain and sanitary sewer replacement, implementation of sidewalk and cycling facilities and street lighting, Rutherford Road to Teston Road.
As part of the study process, the project team will assess how McNaughton Road West meets the current and future needs for the area and potential improvements to meet those needs.
