Back to SearchThe Town of Milton recently completed a Master Plan in accordance with Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process to prepare the 2024 Milton Transportation Master Plan (TMP) Update. The TMP was prepared to guide multi-modal transportation investments and accommodate the travel needs of significant forecasted population and economic growth in the Town to the year 2051.
This Notice of Completion (NOC) is being issued to advise the public and interested parties of the results of the TMP and to invite review and public comments on the study, in accordance with the Environmental Assessment Act. The NOC places the Transportation Master Plan Update on public record for a 30-day review period beginning December 18, 2024. Given the time of year, the 30-day review period is being extended and all comments are requested by January 31, 2025.
The purpose of the NOC is to make clear the Class EA Schedules for the individual projects recommended in the TMP and to identify the projects from the TMP that are eligible for Section 16 Order Requests. Projects eligible for a Section 16 Order request as part of the TMP generally include the projects listed in Section 6.2.1.1 of the TMP. Anticipated Schedule B projects recommended in the TMP can be found below.
