8 The IFP · Halton Hills, Thursday, January 12, 2012 Nominate now for business awards TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION The Study The Town of Halton Hills has completed a Transportation Master Plan (TMP) Study to provide the strategies, policies and tools required to meet the Town's transportation needs safely, effectively and cost efficiently. This project has been conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) process and has satisfied the requirements of the first two phases of the Class EA process. The purpose of the plan was to develop an integrated transportation plan and associated strategies that consider all modes of travel to meet road network challenges to the year 2031. The TMP report documents the existing conditions in the study area, the identified growth and the forecasted transportation improvements needed to support this growth. The existing conditions were presented at the first Public Information Centre (PIC) in February 2011, and the recommendations were presented at the second PIC in June 2011. The preferred recommendations were updated as a result of input received from the public, key stakeholders and agencies throughout the study. Overall, the Master Plan recommends improving roadway infrastructure during the next 20 years, as well as, road jurisdiction and road classification changes. The preferred solution also includes recommendations to address identified operational issues. Based on the Class EA process followed, all recommended projects identified in the Master Plan will be completed in subsequent studies, as per the Municipal Class EA process as either Schedule B or Schedule C projects, requiring additional public consultation and development of design options. The TMP is closely aligned with other Town and Regional transportation-related studies, including the Town and Region Official Plans, the Regional TMP, as well as, the Green Plan and Cycling Master Plan. The Plan was approved by Town Council on January 9, 2012. The plan will be used to guide development of the Town's transportation system, including roads, trails and sidewalks. The TMP is available for public viewing at the Town of Halton Hills Civic Centre, located at 1 Halton Hills Drive, Halton Hills, ON, Monday ­ Friday: 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and on the project website at: www.haltonhills.ca/tmp.
