Downtown Cores Mobility Study

CITY OF TEMISKAMING SHORES TRANSPORTATION STUDY

LINK TO SURVEY 

THE STUDY

The City of Temiskaming Shores is initiating a Transportation Study to investigate the current transportation network related problems within the City; particularly two of its downtown cores. The Transportation Study will be the City’s blueprint for strategic transportation planning and direction for the future. The Transportation Study will establish a transportation system to better serve residents, employers, employees, and visitors while accommodating all modes of transportation (e.g., public transit, commuter travel, commercial vehicles, and active transportation). There is a unique opportunity through this study to create a real sense of place, a community where people choose to meet, dine, and stay for a while instead of driving through; a city where people can safely and pleasantly travel with two feet or two wheels.

THE PROCESS

The study will evaluate City-wide transport operations to develop network solutions with focus on the Downtown Cores for all modes of mobility including:

• Active & Micro-Mobility
• Transit
• Automobile
• Smart & Emerging Mobility
• Freight & Goods Movement
• Downtown Parking

In tandem with network solutions, the Study will also develop supporting policies that will aid the City in guiding future development and operations in a manner that supports planned mode share changes, new sustainable mobility links, and maintains safe streets for all road users such as Road Classification & Cross-Sections, Vision Zero Policy (Traffic Calming), Intersection Implementation Policy, Transportation Demand Management Policies, etc.
