York Region is made up of fast-growing communities. As we go about living, working, and commuting we don\u2019t always see the new park around the corner, the tulips blooming, new buildings under construction, or the blue glass on that new bus station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things\nchange gradually. Bit by bit, our communities grow to meet our needs. New\ngreenspace makes the neighbourhood a nice place to spend time. New buildings\ngive us places to live and work, and new bus rapidways, terminals and subways bring\nnew travel options and connection points. Choices and options are what make the\nplaces we choose to live that much better and here in York Region we\u2019re seeing\nthose changes continue to improve our way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As our\ncommunities grow and people adopt new technology and travel patterns, we drive\nchange together. Bus rapid transit and subway connections are a key part of\nplanning for change and growth. We\u2019ve been steadily building projects in York\nRegion that not only provide rapid transit, but also put new infrastructure in\nplace. These investments in new underground utilities, new bridges, tree-lined\nsidewalks and accessible traffic signals will prepare for current and future\nresidents and businesses. Transit supports growth and development as\ncommunities continue to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With all these\nchanges come new possibilities. So be inspired, explore your community this\nspring and discover the wonderful places around you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes we\u2019re so locked into daily routines we stop noticing what\u2019s new and changing around us.
