Issue and proposed solutions

A young leader who is part of the City of Vaughan Transportation Youth Ambassador Program is advocating for improved pedestrian safety along Keele Street between McNaughton Road and Drummond Drive, near the Maple Health Centre. This stretch of road lacks safe crossing opportunities, making it difficult for pedestrians, especially transit users, to access the healthcare centre without jaywalking. To address this, the changemaker proposed installing a traffic light at the ramp to Maple Health Centre, adding leading pedestrian intervals to give pedestrians a head start with the traffic signal activating only when a pedestrian button is pressed or when a vehicle is waiting. An email outlining the issue and proposed solutions has been sent to York Region.
