Notice of Study Commencement – Transportation Master Plan Update

Public Notice – March 13, 2024

The Township of Russell has initiated the update of the Transportation Master Plan. This will be an important document, guiding the strategic directions of the transportation network as the Township accommodates mobility for future growth while ensuring a sustainable, accessible, and highly liveable community.

The study will examine deficiencies and develop recommendations for the transportation network, including pedestrian, cycling and vehicular modes. Recommendations arising from the study will guide the establishment of infrastructure improvement priorities and support the development of the future capital programs.

The study will be undertaken in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Process, which is an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act. Public consultation is a key component of the study. Once the dates and locations for the meetings are set, public notices will be published in local newspapers, on the Township’s website, and distributed to all individuals and agencies who expressed an interest in the project. The Township of Russell website (https://www.russell.ca) will be updated to provide information on the current status of the study.
