Transportation

Whether you walk, ride a bike, use public transit, operate a truck or drive a car, your primary concern is likely how to get around safely and easily within any municipality. It is crucial to have an efficient transportation system that makes the community sustainable and livable, and supports the economy of the City and surrounding region.

One of the City’s objectives is to provide viable and unobstructed access for everyone, including those with limited mobility and cognitive challenges. The City encourages and supports individuals and groups who choose more sustainable alternatives promoting the shift to greener modes of transportation.

In line with the objectives outlined in the Official Community Plan , the City is aiming to achieve the following transportation goals:

• Provide transportation access to goods, services and recreation throughout the City for all persons regardless of age, physical ability or financial means
• Maximize the safety, personal security, comfort, health and well-being of trip makers within the City
• Enhance the livability of the City by striving to provide transportation facilities and services which result in a net benefit to the community and have minimal adverse effects
• Minimize the costs of transportation facilities and services borne by City taxpayers through increasing the direct costs to users of transportation facilities and services
