City on the Move Transportation Master Plan
Notice of Public Information Centre #1
The Study
The City of Welland is developing a Transportation Master Plan (TMP), City on the Move, to provide the City with long-term road network and active transportation strategies that will support both existing needs, and accommodate further projected population and employment growth.
The Master Plan will aim to:
Connect residential, commercial, and
industrial areas.
Enhance active transportation (cycling and
pedestrian).
Promote safe, environmentally responsible,
and accessible transportation.
Promote links to areas of growth, neighbouring municipalities, and key transport corridors.
Update and create transportation policies
to support community vision.
Update transportation section and
schedules within the City Official Plan.
Create a capital plan to meet the City’s
future transportation needs.
The study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of Master Plan Approach #1 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015), which is an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act. This approach involves the preparation of a Master Plan document at the conclusion of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA process.
