Our system of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) rapidways on Highway 7, Yonge Street, and Davis Drive are each at different construction stages, and Highway 7 West in Vaughan is the next one to get underway.<\/p>\n<p>The contract has been awarded for the construction work on the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) section of Highway 7 West, between Interchange Way\/Edgeley Boulevard and Bowes Road. The VMC area will be a busy place in the next few years, with two major transit projects on the go and significant urban development.<\/p>\n<p>The TTC is already working on Highway 7 west of Jane to build a new subway station for the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE). The vivaNext rapidway will connect from the VMC vivastation to the subway station and an inter-regional bus terminal \u2013 all within walking distance. This connection will make the VMC an important hub for transit in southern Ontario.<\/p>\n<p>Transit projects attract new residents and businesses, and fast, convenient transit helps shape this growth. Rapidway construction will include wider sidewalks, attractive landscaping and great lighting, resulting in new places to go, and appealing surroundings along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the contract has been awarded, we\u2019re putting together construction schedules and planning the utility work that needs to be done beforehand. Sign up for updates to be the first to hear about construction schedules, and to receive ongoing construction alerts.<\/p>\n<p>For more information check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vivanext.com\/media_releases\">news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[poll id=&#8221;35&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 It\u2019s an exciting time for Vaughan as construction of the next segment of the vivaNext rapid transit network moves forward.
