Council Workshop of TMP Cross Sections, focus on Rual Areas and Associated Levels of Service

On Tuesday, May 21, 2024 at 1pm, Council through Cpmmittee of the Whole, will participate in a Workshop on the TMP cross sections.

The primary objective of the workshop is to facilitate a discussion on the application of the District's Transportation Master Plan, particularly focusing on cross sections for local roads.

2. Exploring Cross-Sections: Defining their significance and purpose within the TMP.
3. Background of the District's TMP: Reviewing the factors that shaped the Transportation Master Plan and its reflection in cross-sections.

5. Challenges and Solutions: Identifying challenges faced by Sooke in applying the TMP to the SDSB and discussing potential solutions.
6. Community Engagement: Involving the community to gather insights and perspectives on potential changes.
7. Next Steps: Determining desired actions and outlining the path forward.
