The Process

The WTMP study was undertaken in accordance with the Municipal Engineer’s Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) document, October 2000 (amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015). Two PICs and several public and stakeholder consultations were completed during the EA process. At the conclusion of the study a report documenting the planning process undertaken and the recommendations reached was prepared.

The recommended projects for implementation are:

• Eighteen streets for implementing traffic calming measures
• Nine streets for implementing traffic infiltration prevention measures
• Ten locations for improving pedestrian crossings
• Multiuse path for Hamilton Street and sections of Dundas St. East

These A and A+ projects are pre-approved under the Municipal Class EA process.
The study also recommended transit coverage to a wider area, increasing service hours and a Transit Node facility close to the intersection of Dundas Street East and Hamilton Street East. In addition, the study also recommended to undertake detailed studies for these four improvements.
