Date of issuance – June 25, 2019

As part of the 2019 budget, County Council endorsed undertaking an update of the County Transportation Master Plan (TMP). 

The goal of the TMP is to define a long-range transportation network in order to make the County’s roadway system more accessible, connected and efficient with consideration for the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and goods movement, while enhancing safety and accessibility, promoting sustainability, reducing environmental impacts and supporting economic development.

The TMP will develop recommendations related to a number of specific transportation and traffic issues and will assist in determining areas of investment to develop a roadway network that meets the existing and future needs of the County.

The last update of the original 2004 TMP was completed in 2014 and involved extensive public consultation.  Public consultation will continue to form a significant component of this next update. 

The anticipated start of the TMP update is the 4^th quarter of 2019. 

At this time, we are starting to develop the Terms of Reference that will assist in engaging transportation engineering consultants that will guide this update.

We are inviting you to forward any issues or concerns that your municipality may wish to have considered during this TMP update.

The 2014 update also included a geometric review of particular intersections of the County road network.

The 2014 TMP report and intersection review are available at the links below:

The Council of the Municipality of Trent Lakes is seeking public feedback on their Council Strategic Priorities Actions.

Earlier this year as part of the budget deliberations, Council approved hiring a consultant to assist the Council in developing strategic priorities for the municipality. The intent of the exercise was to allow Councillors to discuss/debate and agree upon a list of specific items to focus budget and staff resources on during the 2019-2022 Council term.

Council and staff met with the consultant several times and determined 10 priority actions areas.

Over the summer months, the Council is seeking public feedback on the list to help ensure the municipality’s financial and administrative resources are being used efficiently.

A copy of the Municipality of Trent Lakes Strategic Priorities is available at the link provided below:
