NEWS Council approves transportation plan review Town council has voted unanimously to approve the 2018 review o f the Switching Gears Transportation Mas­ ter Plan. The deci­ sion sets community transporta­ tion priori­ ties be­ tween now and 2031. Town staff say the plan en­ sures bal­ anced and sustainable transporta­ tion options moving forward. "Switching Gears offers efficient and sustainable transportation choices for people, goods and services to move around Oakville," said Oakville Mayor Rob Burton. "The updated transporta­ tion master plan offers a bal­ anced approach between strategic road improve­ ments and other transporta­ tion choices." Town staff said the plan looks at all modes o f trans- portation including public transit, walking, cycling and ride sharing along with stra­ tegic roadway improve­ ments to ensure a safe, con­ venient and efficient move­ ment o f people and goods. It identifies the transpor­ tation facilities, services and policies that the town will implement to serve a pro­ jected population of 246,400 people by 2031. It sets direction for the town's day-to-day transpor­ tation pro­ grams as well as long and mid-range implementa­ tion plans, provides a basis for bud­ get planning, area, and cor­ ridor trans­ portation studies and design guide­ lines. It also pro­ vides input into the town's Development Charge Bylaw. Launched in 2013, Switch­ ing Gears is the town's guid­ ing document for developing practical, sustainable, long­ term plans to guide the town's transportation sys­ tem to meet the needs o f its anticipated growth to 2031. "Switching Gears offers efficien t and sustainable transportation choices fo r peop le, goods and services to m ove around Oakville. The updated transportation m aster plan offers a balanced approach betw een strategic road im provem ents and other transportation choices.
