Transportation Master Plan
The City’s population is expected to double to half a million people over the next thirty to forty years. With this growth in mind, the Transportation Master Plan was designed to create a plan for the City to continue to grow while still maintaining a city that is vibrant and attractive to future generations. The master plan was approved in principle by City Council on March 22, 2021.
The Transportation Master Plan unites all existing transportation policies and plans from Bylaw 9700, The Official Community Plan Bylaw, 2020, the Strategic Plan, and Growth Plan to Half a Million. The purpose of the master plan is to guide the implementation of a transportation infrastructure plan, annual budgeting, program development, long range financial planning, area and corridor transportation studies, and design and practice guidelines.
An updated prioritization criteria was created based on the Strategic Plan 2022-2025 and is used to create a list of Prioritized Transportation Infrastructure Projects. Criteria used included:
- Improves downtown transportation network
- Addresses network gaps
- Number of modes integrated
- Improves safety
- Actively seeks to remove equity and accessibility barriers
The Transportation Master Plan will be updated in 2026.
