*Please see below a news release issued by the City of Burlington.

Burlington, Ont. — Nov. 3, 2021 — The City of Burlington is creating its first Integrated Mobility Plan (IMP) to guide how people and goods move in and through our community to the year 2051. Anyone who lives in Burlington, or travels to or through Burlington, is invited to get involved in the next stage of the project: the proposed recommendations for the walking, cycling, car, truck and bus networks for Burlington for the next 30 years.

The StoryMap and survey are on getinvolvedburlington.ca/imp and available for comment until Nov. 14, 2021. This feedback will be shared during a presentation of the Recommended Network Solution to Burlington City Council on Dec. 13, 2021 at a Special Meeting of the Community Planning, Regulation & Mobility Committee.

Visit the project page at getinvolvedburlington.ca/IMP to explore the recommendations presented in the, participate in the online survey and sign-up for email notices for the project.

In previous stages of the project, staff has used resident feedback to confirm the IMP vision, values and goal statements. Those concepts generally define the desired transportation system for the Burlington of the future. Staff has also used public feedback to help identify what aspects of our current transportation systems are not in line with where we want to end up in the future. The project page features an interactive story map outlining the project so far, including how residents in Burlington navigate the city and the transportation issues that affect their lives, every day.

The StoryMap walks the reader through five ‘stories’ specific to the Integrated Mobility Plan for Burlington:

  1. Vision, Values and Goals
  2. Transportation Today
  3. Lived Experiences with Transportation (Living Experience Papers)
  4. Problems and Opportunities
  5. Our Preferred Network Solution

Residents and stakeholders are invited to take the mapping survey and place comments on the map that show the Priority Networks for walking, cycling, transit, cars and trucks.

Your email address will not be published. Required fields are marked *

Here are guidelines before you comment, and our expectations before we will post:

  • Be civil. Would you speak this way to a good friend? If not, rewrite.
  • Focus on the issues. Build your argument and make your case in support of your opinion from facts, research or other sources. That way we can all learn. “I disagree with so-and-so because…” is fine; “So-and-so is naïve/stupid  for thinking the way he/she does and here’s why…” is not acceptable.
  • Don’t make personal attacks. Don’t assume motives of those you disagree with, make unfounded allegations, spread rumours, or engage in any other behaviours that would discourage you from participating if someone said this to, or about, you. The Golden Rule applies: Do unto others as you would have done to you. We will edit or not post comments with this type of content.
  • Say it once: When comments from the same individual or individuals become repetitive, going over ground already stated, we reserve the right to close commenting.
  • Use your full, and real, name. If wish to make a comment in public, we expect you will publicly stand behind it with your name. If you don’t want to publicly reveal your name, that’s fine; you are always welcome to share your thoughts with me privately via my email below. I welcome and consider all feedback in making decisions for the community.
  • Have fun, consider and learn. Share your views and read those of others. May we all benefit from a healthy exchange of ideas, and learn a little more about the people in our community, what you think, and what’s important to each of you. You may end up changing your mind about an issue; even if you don’t, we hope everyone will gain a greater understanding of why people have different perspectives.
