About the Road Master Action Plan (RMAP)
The County of Wellington is creating a Road Master Action Plan. This Plan will help the County map out improvements to the County’s transportation network.
Background |
In 2005, Wellington County undertook a review of its transportation network, when the Guelph Wellington Transportation Study was completed. Since then, other related initiatives such as the Active Transportation Plan, Development Charges Background Studies, Passing Lane Studies, and various road and bridge environmental assessments have been completed. Additionally, other area jurisdictions and agencies have also completed or are currently undertaking transportation related studies, including the Province’s draft regional transportation plan for Southwestern Ontario, the Township of Centre Wellington’s 2019 Transportation Master Plan, and the City of Guelph’s Transportation Master Plan. To build on this work, provide an updated review, and coordinate with the transportation related initiatives that have been completed since 2005, Wellington County is undertaking a Road Master Action Plan (RMAP) study. The RMAP will review current and future transportation network requirements to accommodate future population and employment growth projected in the County to 2041. The RMAP will be completed under the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process in accordance with the master planning process for Municipal Class EAs. Critical to the successful development of the RMAP will be the ability to effectively engage with the public and stakeholders. This is not just a requirement of the Municipal Class EA process, but also an important component to ensuring that the RMAP is a document that is shaped by the community and that residents have the opportunity to participate in meaningful engagement. |
