Notice of Public Information Centre: Transportation Master Plan PIC 2
To strategically prepare for forecasted growth, the City of Kawartha Lakes retained Egis to undertake the development of the municipality’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) update.
The TMP is a strategic policy document that will serve as a road map for short-range, medium-range, and long-range transportation infrastructure investments, as well as multi-modal transportation planning.
The first of two Public Information Centres (PIC) held in November 2023 introduced the Transportation Master Plan update process and outlined current conditions. Comments from the public and stakeholders have continuously been accepted and reviewed.
The second and final PIC will present analysed future conditions and proposed future infrastructure improvement recommendations along with recommended policy. This PIC will provide insight to what the final TMP update document will contain.
The Process
The TMP update is developing in accordance with the Provincial Environmental Assessment (EA) Act, following the Approach 1 as outlined in the 2023 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) document. The TMP will cover Phase 1, Problem and Opportunity, and Phase 2, Alternative Solutions, of the MCEA process and facilitate streamlining and implementation of recommended capital works.
Have your say
An important part of this study is consultation with the public, stakeholders, and the municipality’s agency partners. We want to hear from you on the issues and opportunities that you see for the municipality’s transportation system to the horizon year of 2051.
At any time during this study, you can provide comments, questions, and concerns to the project team on the TMP Jump In page: https://jumpinkawarthalakes.ca/transportation-master-plan
The project team will host the second of two (2) Public Information Centres (PIC) to gather public input and present findings of the study.
