Transportation Master Plan Update

About the Study

The City of Kawartha Lakes has completed the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) Update that incorporates updated population and employment forecasts to guide the enhancement of a multi-modal transportation network to the year 2051. The TMP will serve as a road map for short-range, medium-range, and long-range transportation infrastructure investments. It will guide how we:

• develop our roadways
• coordinate infrastructure improvements with land uses
• provide sustainable, multi-modal transportation facilities, and services to ensure enhanced mobility, accessibility and connectivity
• respond to future growth and demand on our transportation network

The Study Process

The TMP Update was undertaken in accordance with the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Master Planning process, an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act, including extensive public and agency consultation and input.

As part of the TMP process, our consultants, Egis assessed the City of Kawartha Lake’s existing and future transportation challenges and opportunities and identified long-term transportation infrastructure needs. Recommendations in the TMP Update support plans, improve connectivity, enhance safety, and encourage active transportation. The TMP Update includes recommendations for operational, design, and transportation policies that supports the City’s transportation infrastructure through the year 2051. The study addresses transportation needs and justification at a broad level, so the recommended infrastructure projects will require further examination and detailed study to complete the requirements of the Municipal Class EA prior to implementation.

By this notice, the TMP Update is being placed on public record for a 30 calendar-day review period in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class EA process. The review period will begin on March 18, 2025. Please provide written comments by April 18, 2025. All comments will become part of the public record of the study, except for personal information.
