Transportation Master Plan

Project Overview

The Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake is undertaking an amendment to its draft Transportation Master Plan (TMP), originally released for public comment in summer 2022.

This update will reflect current transportation conditions, updated policy direction, and recent growth projections. The goal is to ensure the Town’s transportation network continues to meet the needs of residents, businesses, and visitors, both now and into the future.

What This Study Will Do

The updated TMP will:

• Assess short- and long-term transportation needs and gaps
• Reflect updated growth projections and land use planning
• Consider local, regional, and provincial policies
• Review collision history and recent infrastructure improvements
• Identify improvements to support all modes of transportation, including:
  • Vehicles
  • Cyclists
  • Pedestrians
  • Transit

The plan will guide transportation improvements across the Town to support mobility through 2041.

Study Process

This study is being completed in accordance with Approach #1 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) process (2024).

The final Transportation Master Plan will:

• Address Phases 1 and 2 of the MCEA process
• Identify future transportation projects (Schedule B and C, where applicable)
• Serve as a foundation for future detailed studies and implementation

Public Engagement

Public input is a key part of this process. Upcoming engagement opportunities include:

• Online public consultation is planned for June 2026

More details about engagement opportunities will be shared later this spring.
