The City of Clarence-Rockland (City) has revised its 2019 Multi-Modal Transportation Master Plan (MMTMP) based on shifts in available transportation options and changes in resident and visitor travel behavior since the original plan was formulated.

As part of the MMTMP process, our consultants, Stantec Consulting Ltd., assessed the City’s existing and future transportation challenges and opportunities, and worked to identify short-term and long-term transportation infrastructure needs. This updated MMTMP addresses emerging challenges, facilitates growth, and incorporates policies to steer transportation and land use decisions effectively.  Recommendations in the MMTMP support improved connectivity and travel times, enhance safety, and encourage active transportation and transit. The MMTMP has identified actions and policies and a financial strategy to address the short, medium, and long-term transportation needs of the community. 

Please note the St. Jean – Poupart Reconstruction Study is not being amended or impacted in scope or design by this MMTMP. The 2019 MMTMP recommendations for the St. Jean-Poupart area still apply.

This study has been undertaken in accordance with Approach #1 of the Master Planning Process, as outlined in Appendix 4 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) document (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, 2015, 2023). As such, the MMTMP has addressed Phases 1 and 2 of the MCEA process.
