Trails Master Plan for the Natural Heritage System Coming Back To Council
A couple of years ago, Oakvillegreen fought a plan that would put 3 m wide, paved pathways with 1 m mowed buffers on either side, that were lighted in some areas and de-iced in winter through our Natural Heritage System in north Oakville because we believe, call us crazy, that you can’t preserve nature while paving it over. In the end, Council approved the Master Transportation Plan without approving the NHS trails plan. Staff was to go away and come back with a report. The Mayor also struck a trails committee that released a report that included the suggestion that “natural trails” that are narrow and consist of only natural materials, be added to the Parks list of trail types. Now we understand a trails plan for the NHS is coming to the Planning and Development Council meeting on November 14. We have asked for, but have not yet received the plan. We believe it is essentially unchanged from what was presented previously and, if so, we will fight it again. We will need your support on this issue and will get back to you with how you can help. Please stay tuned.

Halton Region Transportation Master Plan
Master Transportation Plan
Notice of Study Completion
Appendix D - Environmentally Sensitive Areas
REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF HALTON
NOTICE OF COMPLETION
Transportation Master Plan to 2031 - The Road to Change
PR-2414
Background
Halton Region has completed a Transportation Master Plan – The Road to Change to develop a sustainable and integrated transportation plan that considers all modes of travel (automobiles, transit, cycling and walking) to the year 2031. The Transportation Master Plan was conducted in accordance with the master planning process following the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process (October 2000, as amended 2007) which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
Process
The Transportation Master Plan provides the Region with the strategies and tools needed to manage traffic safely, effectively, and cost efficiently. This plan offers a range of transportation choices to meet the needs of Halton residents through Active Transportation, Transportation Demand Management and infrastructure related improvements. A key outcome of the study is a list of transportation projects that the Region can incorporate into its 20-year Roads Capital Program.
The Transportation Master Plan incorporates public, local municipal and agency comments received during the course of the study. While the Transportation Master Plan addresses need and justification at the broad level, more detailed studies for Schedule C projects included in the Transportation Master Plan will be completed in subsequent studies as per the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process. We would like to take the opportunity to thank those members of the Halton community who participated in the Transportation Master Plan project. Your time and input was appreciated. Copies of the Transportation Master Plan document are available for your information at the following locations and on Halton’s website www.halton.ca/htmp.
