If you want to live in a safe place, come to York Region. York Region is one of the safer places in Canada to call home, according to Maclean\u2019s magazine list of Canada\u2019s most dangerous places to live.<\/p>\n

low crime rates<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Region is well down the list at #201, making it the 30th<\/sup> safest area to live in.<\/p>\n

The rankings come from a crime severity index, calculated by the type and frequency of crime: violence, drugs, theft\/property and youth crime. York Region falls below the national average on every front, often far below.<\/p>\n

strong communities by design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Low crime is just one of the many reasons our region is a great place to live, along with the Region\u2019s thriving economy, impressive job growth and strong sense of community. In the future, we hope our Region will also be known for the strength of its rapid transit network.<\/p>\n

At vivaNext, we\u2019re fortifying the future of our communities with rapidways. Having a transit network in place is the ticket for transit-oriented development — smart growth designed with the new urbanism in mind. The vision is one of compact, walkable communities served by transit, where people want to live.<\/p>\n

We know we need to be ready for our Region\u2019s future population \u2013 we\u2019re expected to reach 1.79 million residents by 2041, up from today\u2019s 1.2 million. But we also want to preserve the essence of our communities that made them desirable in the first place.<\/p>\n

streets for everyone<\/strong><\/p>\n

VivaNext rapidways come with streets for everyone: pedestrians, cyclists, drivers and transit riders. Attractive streetscapes and landscaping enhance the allure. The rapid transit projects foster mixed-use land development, increasing population density while reducing urban sprawl. These are the kind of communities that go the distance, designed to be strong, caring and safe for the long-haul.<\/p>\n
