Students from Cardinal Carter Catholic High School show us their "V" for viva.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today\u2019s guest bloggers are <\/em>Andrea Witty<\/em><\/a>, Community Liaison Specialist, and Kathryn Webber, Project & Public Relations Coordinator, who spent <\/em>Earth Day<\/em><\/a> at <\/em>Cardinal Carter High School<\/em><\/a> in Aurora talking to the students about the new rapidways that are coming to <\/em>York Region<\/em><\/a>. <\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We shared time-lapse animations that showed what Vaughan, Newmarket<\/a> and Markham will look like in 5-20 years when the rapidways and subway extension projects are built. Being able to actually show the end result of our plan makes talking about it way easier.\u00a0 <\/span>They loved the images and the peak into the future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Students were excited about the long range plans to increase connections and make it easier to travel across the region for shopping and work, getting to university and to get to Toronto. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While the vivaNext<\/a> plan will save people time and prevent stress from being in gridlock, the plan is a part of a long-term sustainable solution to save something much more important than time \u2013 our planet<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
