Integrated Sustainable Master Plan (ISMP)

At the November 8, 2016 meeting of Council, the following resolution from the November 1, 2016 Council-In-Committee was adopted:

THAT  P.W. 16-81, Integrated Sustainable and Active Transportation Mater Plans Completion, be received for information;

AND THAT Council adopts these Master Plans as policy for the planning and design of the facilities and programs discussed therein;

AND FURTHER THAT the Integrated Sustainable and Active Transportation Master Plans be incorporated in the Official Plan Update and future Strategic Plan reviews.

The ISMP assessed storm water, wastewater, drinking water and transportation to identify the needs to the year 2041 in these service areas.  The ISMP included a stand-alone Active Transportation Master Plan.

The ISMP is an important policy document for the reconstruction or expansion of County infrastructure, as well as development that will be assumed by the County.  Any projects undertaken for these service areas are to include a review of the ISMP and incorporate any relevant recommendations.

More information is available in each area listed below.
