Town of Tecumseh Transportation Master Plan (TMP)

Overview
The Town of Tecumseh has experienced significant growth over the past twenty years and is planning for future development in the Maidstone, Oldcastle and Tecumseh Hamlets. In order to accommodate the projected growth and to meet the transportation needs of the community, the Town of Tecumseh has initiated a Transportation Master Plan that will establish sustainable integrated transportation strategies that consider all modes of travel (automobiles, transit, cycling, walking). Dillon Consulting Limited has been retained to assist the Town in this undertaking.

The study will provide the Town with the strategies and policy directions to manage transportation needs safely, effectively, and cost efficiently while providing Tecumseh residents with a range of transportation choices to meet their needs. Ultimately, the Tecumseh Transportation Master Plan will result in a more livable community that supports the mobility needs of its residents, businesses and visitors in both the rural and urban areas.

The TMP will integrate transportation and land use planning and is founded in the notion of sustainable development, which “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” The transportation network should be based on a proper balance between providing transportation alternatives, protecting the natural environment, enhancing economic competitiveness, and fostering a healthy, equitable society.

Study Schedule
The study is scheduled for completion in early 2009.
