Transportation Master Plan 2025 

Notice of Study Commencement and Public Meeting 1

The City of Clarence-Rockland (City) is revising its 2019 Multi-Modal Transportation Master Plan (MMTMP) based on shifts in available transportation options and changes in resident and visitor travel behavior since the original plan was formulated. This updated plan addresses emerging challenges, facilitates growth, and incorporates policies to steer transportation and land use decisions effectively.

The MTMP will be an important resource for the City as it continues to adapt to changing needs, growth and development, and new opportunities.  The MMTMP will shape how we travel, help us further understand and define our regional connections, and support the movement of goods and services throughout the region.  As part of the MMTMP study process, a vision will be established, actions and policies will be defined, and a financial strategy will be developed to address the short, medium, and long-term transportation needs of the community.

Please note the St. Jean – Poupart Reconstruction Study is not being amended or impacted in scope or design by this Multi-Modal Transportation Master Plan (MMTMP) process. The 2019 MMTMP recommendations for the St. Jean-Poupart area still apply.                                                                                                              

The Process

This study is being undertaken in accordance with Approach #1 of the Master Planning Process, as outlined in Appendix 4 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, 2015, 2023). As such, the MMTMP will generally address Phases 1 and 2 of the MCEA process and will form the basis for the recommended Schedule B and C transportation infrastructure projects identified within the MMTMP report.
