Council’s guide for traffic management is called the “Integrated Mobility Plan” or IMP. The IMP was presented to council on October 31, 2023 by K. Edgcumbe, Manager of Transportation and Parking. Edgcumbe stated, “The fundamental assumption that underpinned the philosophy of our IMP was the directive from council that there were to be no new road widenings for the sole purpose of adding additional auto capacity.”
