For those curius to know what the Viva Rapidway is scheduled to look like, have a look at this video that viva has posted on youtube. The first 40 seconds are basically what Main/Davis is expected to look like, while other Transit oreinted projects follow.
*PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS VIDEO IS A DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. Main/Davis is not likely going to see major development like the one proposed in the video for many many years to come.
The goal is to build transit systems and roadways that will accomodate for vertical development and the concentration of population growth in designated Growth Centres. This is all based on the The Ontario Places to Grow Act which is intended manage growth and development in a way that supports economic prosperity, protects the environment and helps communities achieve a high quality of life across the province.
Newmarket is a targeted area in the Act and has been given a Provincial Growth mandate to acheive a population of 98,000 by 2026, a goal I think will be achieved well before that date.
