Project Summary
Priority: Critical
Public Engagement: Involve
Project Name: Transportation master plan update
Project Number: 1-2-03100-615 CC310-15

Executive Summary
This project was included in the 2024-2028 Financial Plan. The purpose of this project is to update the Town’s Transportation Master Plan to (1) confirm Active Transportation Network Planning initiatives; and (2) calibrate growth modelling with the updated Official Community Plan (completion in 2025/2026).
Business problem and opportunity
The last Transportation Master Plan was competed in 2008, with a technical update in 2016. Given (1) the growth in View Royal since the latest update, (2) the completion of the Active Transportation Network Plan, and (3) the anticipated completion of the Official Community Plan in 2025-2026, an update to the transportation model will be beneficial to maintain an accurate representation of the long-term outlook for the Town’s transportation corridors.
Proposed project objectives
The objective of this project is to provide a long term, updated 10-year and 20-year outlook. This in turn would inform any updates that may be suggested for the Town’s bylaws including but not limited to the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw 985 (2017) and the Development Cost Charges Bylaw 1011 (2019). The update would include:
- Updated transportation network model to reflect the OCP and Active Transportation Network Planning;
- Confirm and prioritize the long-term infrastructure improvements identified in the Active Transportation Network Plan and the OCP. This would include but is not limited to opportunities such as roundabouts, trail connectors, and cross section changes.
Business risks
This project was initially “place held” until the Active Transportation Network Plan (ATNP) and the Official Community Plan (OCP) is updated. While the ATNP has been completed, the OCP is scheduled for completion in 2025/2026. Staff recommend commencing the Transportation Master Plan during the same year as the OCP (2025), but giving the OCP a head start by approximately half a year.
