The Integrated Transportation Master Plan (ITMP) guides how the County manages and invests in its transportation network, and provides a framework for identifying appropriate funding sources, such as capital budgets.
Strathcona County’s vision is to become Canada’s most livable community. An effective and accessible transportation network is an integral component that promotes a safe, healthy community and strong economy. Â
The County’s transportation network is comprised of the roads, sidewalks, trails and transit, connecting thousands of people and products to and from their destinations.
2022 Integrated Transportation Master Plan update
The ITMP is a long-range planning tool requiring updates to align with planning and growth. The 2022 update was informed by public and stakeholder input along with technical and engineering studies, and coordination with County and regional planning.
The ITMP update was approved by Council on November 29, 2022. The update supports recommended changes in regional and County growth and planning since the ITMP was last updated in 2012. Â
The update has identified and confirmed five priorities. It also includes implementation strategies and recommendations for each priority.
