Active Transportation Master Plan

The Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP) was introduced in 2009 and updated in 2017. The plan recommends an extensive network of facilities composed of on-road and off-road paths designed to respond to the needs of a range of active transportation users, age and skill level. Since 2009, a total of 200 kilometres of bike lanes, pathways and signed bike routes have been implemented as well as 200 bike racks across the town.

The 2017 ATMP Update

The town updated the existing ATMP to assess current conditions and develop an improved implementation plan to expand the network, and promote cycling and walking in Oakville.
Updates to the ATMP were developed following extensive public and stakeholder consultation and cover a number of areas including:

  • Safety
  • Environmental benefits
  • Outreach
  • Education
  • Infrastructure
  • Design standards

Town Council approved the 2017 ATMP Update at the July 10, 2017  Planning and Development Council meeting.

Background

The ATMP update was completed consistent with master plan approach #1 outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study process. A key component of this study was two public consultation opportunities. The town gathered input from the public to inform the development of the plan and identify a continuous and connected system of on and off-road AT facilities, policy improvements and opportunities to improve walking and biking within the town through education, encouragement and enforcement.
