How We Go - TMP

The Municipality of Mississippi Mills initiated a new Transportation Master Plan (TMP) in February 2023 to help address and respond to unprecedented population growth, ever-evolving travel behavior, and ensure better alignment with other municipal planning projects. Parsons Inc. has been retained by the Municipality to prepare this study.

The TMP is a strategic planning document guiding the planning, expansion and management of our municipality’s multi-modal transportation system. The TMP provides an opportunity for proactive thinking, anticipating community needs, and preparing for emerging trends in transportation solutions. The TMP will direct transportation infrastructure investments over the coming decades, as well as policies and guidelines to meet the transportation needs of all users regardless of age and ability.

The TMP was conducted in accordance with the Master Planning process (Phases 1 and 2) as outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2023) by the Municipal Engineers Association, which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The TMP followed “Approach #1” of the Master Planning process, which provides a broad level of assessment that would become the basis for, and be used in support of, future investigations for specific municipal capital projects.
