NCC launches final public consultation for plan plotting future of interprovincial crossings
Posted Nov 9, 2021 07:00:00 PM.
The National Capital Commission (NCC) is giving the public one last chance to have a say regarding a plan that will inform the development of interprovincial transportation in the region over the next 30 years.
The NCC says the point of the Long-Term Integrated Interprovincial Crossings Plan for the National Capital Region is to find more sustainable and integrated approaches to interprovincial transportation in the decades to come.
In addition to identifying emerging trends in interprovincial transportation and articulating opportunities for long-term programmatic and infrastructure investments, the draft plan considers the impact of climate change, active transportation, demographic shifts, societal changes and new technology on the future of mobility.
The NCC's online survey launches on Tuesday, November 9, and will be available until November 24.
The 2019 federal budget mandated that the NCC develop a Long-Term Integrated Interprovincial Crossings Plan in collaboration with both provincial and municipal governments.
This is the final phase of the plan, which will then be reviewed and approved by the NCC Board in January 2022.
