\"connecting<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019re building rapid transit in York Region \u2013 Bus Rapid Transit and subways \u2013 to connect York Region residents and commuters from north and south, east and west. Markham and Newmarket both have east-west rapidway connections, and next it\u2019s Vaughan\u2019s turn. From Yonge Street to Helen Street west of Highway 400, the new vivaNext rapidways will connect travellers with fast, convenient Bus Rapid Transit.<\/p>\n

Vaughan Metropolitan Centre [VMC] is a hub of activity and the rapidway project is moving ahead quickly to open between Jane Street and Bowes Road by the end of 2016. Along the rapidway, Viva will stop at vivastations at Creditstone Road and Keele Street. Once the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension [TYSSE] opens in December 2017, Viva riders will also be able to connect at a vivastation west of Jane with direct access to the new subway station below, and a YRT bus terminal a short walk away. To see an overview of the project, check out our latest video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This spring, construction begins on rapidways that will link vibrant communities in the east and west of Vaughan to the transportation options and development in the VMC, and to the rest of York Region.\u00a0 We know it helps to be aware of what\u2019s happening and when, so we promise to keep you informed and up-to-date along the way. If you haven\u2019t already, be sure to subscribe to email updates<\/a> for vivaNext projects, and follow us on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
