Erin hires consultant to conduct Transportation Master Plan

Date: Nov 01, 2024

Transportation Master Plan

To strategically prepare for growth and enhance the Town’s existing transportation network, the Town of Erin has retained 30 Forensic Engineering (30FE) to undertake the development of the Town’s first Transportation Master Plan (TMP) study. The TMP will be a strategic policy document that will serve as a road map for short, medium, and long-range transportation infrastructure investments, as well as integrated multi-modal transportation planning, to meet the demands up to the 2055 horizon year. The plan will develop and enhance the transportation network to help establish the Town of Erin as a local community leader in building, preserving and enhancing livable communities, which will be supported by economic development, tourism, sustainable transportation practices, and the emerging shared economy.

The Process

The TMP will be developed in accordance with the Provincial Environmental Assessment (EA) Act, following the Approach 1 as outlined in the 2023 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) document. The TMP will cover Phase 1, Problem and Opportunity, and Phase 2, Alternative Solutions, of the MCEA process and facilitate streamlining and implementation of recommended capital works.

Have your say

An important part of this study is consultation with the public, stakeholders, and the Town’s agency partners. We want to hear from you on the issues and opportunities that you see for the Town’s Transportation System to the horizon year of 2055.

At any time during this study, you can provide comments, questions, and concerns to the project team. We will also organize Public and Stakeholder engagement events to present an overview of the study and existing conditions while outlining alternatives, evaluation, and study recommendations.

The project team will host two (2) Public Information Centres (PIC) to gather public input and present the findings of the study, with the first PIC anticipated in January 2025. A PIC Notice will be published at least two weeks in advance providing the date, time, and location of the meetings.
