NOTICE
Notice of Study Commencement – Mobility Master Plan
The City is starting community consultation for the Mobility Master Plan, a plan that will determine how London plans and prioritizes transportation and mobility infrastructure, programs and policies for the next 25 years. How residents move, and the ease of making those trips, is different for everyone. The way we design streets, sidewalks, cycling infrastructure, transit routes and paths - also known as our ‘mobility network’ - plays a major role in shaping these experiences.
Once complete, the Mobility Master Plan will be the blueprint for how the City plans and builds its mobility network for the next three decades. Future mobility planning is critical as we work towards meeting the demands of a growing population, meeting climate change targets and providing safe, healthy, affordable and accessible mobility options for Londoners to get where they need to go.
How to Get Involved:
Londoners interested in contributing their input to the Mobility Master Plan are encouraged to comment on the Guiding Principles and answer questions about their personal mobility experiences on getinvolved.london.ca/mobility-master-plan. Webinars, meetings and in-person events throughout the city are being planned as part of this process. Feedback received will help the project team refine the proposed Guiding Principles for the plan and identify key issues and opportunities to be explored.
How to Stay Informed:
Project updates and opportunities to participate in the Mobility Master Plan will be posted on the study webpage (getinvolved.london.ca/mobility-master-plan) as well as the City’s social media channels.
To be notified of project updates and/or new opportunities to get involved, residents can join our mailing list by contacting the project manager listed below or by registering on the study webpage.
Timeline:
Developing the Mobility Master Plan will take approximately two years to complete. The first phase of the study will focus on establishing a shared vision & learning about the community’s mobility needs, challenges and ideas for future solutions.
About the Process:
The Master Plan will be completed in accordance with Phase I and II of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, a process designed to predict environmental effects of proposed initiatives before they are carried out to protect the natural, cultural, social and economic environment. The Mobility Master Plan will include a detailed review and evaluation of future transportation and mobility needs. Extensive consultation with the public, stakeholders, community organizations and Indigenous communities will be completed as part of this process.
If you require any accommodations to fully participate in this study process, or have a comment or question regarding this study, please contact the Mobility Master Plan project team using the contact information below.
