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:

ƒ Connect residential, commercial, and

industrial areas.

ƒ Enhance active transportation (cycling and

pedestrian).

ƒ Promote safe, environmentally responsible,

and accessible transportation.

ƒ Promote links to areas of growth, neighbouring municipalities, and key transport corridors.

ƒ Update and create transportation policies

to support community vision.

ƒ Update transportation section and

schedules within the City Official Plan.

ƒ 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.
