They also endorsed the Sustainable Halton Water and Wastewater Master Plan. This plan ensures that Halton continues to provide a safe and uninterrupted water supply for all Halton residents and businesses that receive Regional water, as well as ensuring that wastewater is collected and treated efficiently and effectively.

Our transportation system is made up of a network of roads and services owned and operated by the Province, the Region and the Local Municipalities. Our Transportation Master Plan looks at all of these components and provides a long range plan to ensure that Halton residents and businesses can travel throughout the region in a safe and efficient manner. The regional road system currently includes more than 900 lane km of roads, 206 traffic signals and 122 bridges and large culverts. Halton's transportation system must provide us with options and seamless travel within Halton and the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. However, it's not enough to just widen roads in order to accommodate the travel demand in 2031. We also need to incorporate new road corridors, provide for cycling and walking, promote travel demand management (such as carpooling) and accommodate enhanced municipal and inter-regional (GO) transit services. I'd like to thank those of you who have attended past meetings and workshops on our most recent infrastructure master plans. With more than 40 stakeholder meetings and workshops, the development of the Water and Wastewater and the Transportation Master Plans was truly a collaboration we can all be proud of. Working together, we can ensure that Halton Region remains a great place to live, work, raise a family and retire.
