Notice of Online Public Information Centre 2 for Transportation Master Plan

According to the 2021 census data, the Town of Arnprior has a total population of 9,629. This is a 9.5% increase from 2016. By 2036, the Town’s population is forecasted to increase to 11, 773. To strategically prepare for this growth and enhance the municipality’s existing transportation network, the Town of Arnprior retained Egis to undertake the development of the municipality’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP).

The TMP is a strategic policy document that will serve as a road map for short-range, medium-range, and long-range transportation infrastructure investments, as well as multi-modal transportation planning.

The first of two Public Information Centres (PIC) held in March 2024 introduced the Transportation Master Plan process and outlined the current conditions. Comments from the public and stakeholders have continuously been accepted and reviewed.

This final PIC will present analysed future conditions and proposed future infrastructure improvement recommendations along with recommended policy. This PIC will provide insight into what the final TMP update document will contain.

The TMP update will be developed in accordance with the Provincial Environmental Assessment (EA) Act, following the Approach 1 as outlined in the 2023 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) document. The TMP will cover Phase 1, Problem and Opportunity, and Phase 2, Alternative Solutions, of the MCEA process and facilitate streamlining and implementation of recommended capital works.

An important part of this study is consultation with the public, stakeholders, and the municipality’s agency partners. We want to hear from you on the issues and opportunities that you see for the Town’s transportation system to the horizon year of 2034.

The project team will host the second of two Public Information Centres to gather public input and present findings of the study.

Details for the second Public Information Centre are as follows:
