Launch of Phase 4 of the Transportation Master Plan consultations and public engagement event
The City began consultation on the Transportation Master Plan Part 2 following the approval of the Transportation Master Plan Part 1 in 2023. The Transportation Master Plan Part 2 will identify the transit and road projects that are needed to accommodate growth and achieve the City’s objectives for a healthy, livable city. It will also identify a subset of projects that are affordable within the City’s long-range financial plans, along with the corresponding timelines for implementation.
As part of this phase of consultation, residents were invited to tell the City about the transportation issues they experience when travelling by car or transit using the survey below. Residents also gave feedback on their transportation investment priorities.
Residents were invited to review the Transportation Trends Report presenting the results of the 2022 Origin-Destination household travel survey. This survey provides a snapshot of residents’ daily travel, including trip origins and destinations, modes of travel, and trip purposes. Key findings are summarized in the Transportation Trends Highlights document. Finally, the Needs, Opportunities and Uncertainty Report discusses the implications of the Origin-Destination survey results on how the City plans its future transit and road networks. It also provides a summary of the approach that will be used for forecasting future travel activity in the next phase of the study. All three reports can be found in the Document Library on this page.
The City hosted an online virtual engagement on Wednesday, June 26 from 6 pm to 8 pm.
Survey #1: Mapping transportation issues - Surveys are closed.
Survey #2: Transportation Investment Priorities - Surveys are closed.
In the coming months, work will continue on the Transportation Master Plan Part 2. This will include finalizing the travel forecasting model and identifying locations where transportation improvements are needed to support growth. The Transportation Master Plan team will then identify and evaluate transit and road projects; update the City’s future transportation networks; prioritize projects; and develop an implementation plan.
