Issue and proposed solutions

Three young changemakers with the City of Vaughan Transportation Youth Ambassador Program have raised concerns about severe traffic congestion and safety risks near the intersection of Rutherford Road and Sweet River Boulevard. Traffic coming from the west side and traffic turning left into the Vaughan Mills parking lot frequently block traffic in all directions. This leads to gridlock and unpredictable driver behaviour, increasing the risk of collisions and pedestrian safety hazards. To address this, the young leaders have emailed Vaughan Mills Property Management to report the issue and proposed the installation of signage prohibiting left turns and through traffic from the west side during peak hours.
