FCA-FAC Transportation Master Plan: Workshop & Survey

Dear FCA members:

WORKSHOP: The City of Ottawa’s current Transportation Master Plan (TMP) is the City’s blueprint for planning, developing and operating its walking, cycling, public transit and road networks for the next two decades. It was approved in 2013, based on 2006 census information, 2011 traffic data, background reports and public consultation. It contains targets and strategies regarding walking, cycling, transit and vehicles for 2031 (to access the TMP go to http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/planning-and-development/official-plan-and-master-plans/transportation-master-plan). The City originally intended to update the TMP for 2018, but now does not expect to begin the process to update the TMP until 2021.

But time does not stand still – assumptions change, new data becomes available, and a new TMP is needed. On Saturday April 8, 2017 (8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. @ Tom Brown Arena, 141 Bayview Rd.) the FCA Transportation Committee will hold a half-day workshop on building a new Transportation Master Plan for our city. Please see the attached Agenda or click on it here:

Winter Trail User’s Survey

If you used the Sir John A. MacDonald (SJAM) Winter Trail this season, the people behind it (http://www.wintertrail.ca/ and https://twitter.com/SJAMWinterTrail) would like your opinion about the trail and what parts you liked. Take the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SJAMWinterTrailUserFeedback

By the way, judging by their tweets, they’re still at it, they haven’t given up on grooming – one more snow storm may be coming on Friday!
