After extensive public consultation, a new Transportation Master Plan (TMP) has been approved in St. Catharines.
The TMP will focus on key areas such as increased active transportation, technology and the use of public transportation.
The plan boasts a complete street approach that considers the needs of pedestrians, motorists and cyclists.
The plan will also help the City deliver goals regarding tourism, improved road safety, and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
Mayor Walter Sendzik speaks favorably about the plan.
"This new plan will guide future Councils and staff on how we build a city that is less dependent on cars and more focused on all kinds of movement abilities from pedestrians to cycling to enhanced transit. Compliments to City staff for getting this long overdue strategic plan completed."
