Council provided direction to Staff about the Transportation Master Plan presented at last meeting.  As there were a couple issues  (either not enough clarity or lack of agreement) the Plan was not approved; at Council on June 8th some revisions are being presented.  There is more clarity on what it means when  a road is identified as a collector road; rather than being a “flag” of more traffic to come it is really a much needed indicator of the need for that road to be given priority for winter maintenance, the need to consider sidewalks & bike lanes for it, the need to assess traffic calming. Staff is specifically recommending the uploading of 2 roads to Region and are seeking Council agreement to initiate discussions.  As discussed at the 5/28 Council meeting, approving this strategy is critical to enable good financial planning (short and long term capital budgets) land and very importantly to include approving costs in our new development charges.
