The next steps for the Transportation Master Plan are as follows:

Step 1

-Present to Council for input and discussion in September/October;

Step 2
-Revise Transportation Study to reflect public and Council feedback;
-Present to Council for approval by end of year;

Step 3

-Include in Official Plan.

To view the Public Information and Input Session meeting held June 24, you may visit the City's Livestream site for a recording of the meeting.

The objectives of this study are to develop a plan that supports the transportation vision and principles through improvement of the existing road network, enhancement and expansion of active transportation facilities; and the incorporation and development of additional transportation policies.

Once finalized, the Transportation Master Plan will be appended to the City of Greater Sudbury's Official Plan.
