Notice of Online Public Information Centre 1 for Transportation Master Plan

County of Renfrew has experienced a 3.8% growth in population from approximately 75,423 people in 2016 to 79,247 people in 2021, indicating steady growth within the County. By 2036, the population is forecasted to reach 107,245. To strategically prepare for this growth and enhance the County’s existing transportation network, the County of Renfrew retained Egis Canada to undertake the development of the County’s first ever Transportation Master Plan (TMP).

The TMP is a strategic policy document that will serve as a road map for short-range, medium-range, and long-range transportation infrastructure investments, as well as multi-modal transportation planning.

The Process

The TMP update 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 County’s agency partners. We want to hear from you on the issues and opportunities that you see for the County’s transportation system to the horizon year of 2031.

At any time during this study, you can reach out to the project team and provide comments, questions, and concerns to Mehmed Delibasic or Taylor Hanrath. (Refer to pages 2-3 for more contact details).

How to Participate

A virtual Public Information Centre (PIC) is being held on Tuesday March 26^th , 2024 to present and gather feedback on the TMP study process.
