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.”

The council’s plan is to grow the population by about 65,000 people over the next 25 years, without widening any roads. The solution is more transit, along with “Developing a spine network of high-quality cycling facilities designed to serve cyclists of all ages and abilities by building new and improving existing cycling infrastructure.”
