Any proposed new interchanges, highway/interchange improvements, or bike lane crossings of Provincial facilities, etc., are not approved by the Ministry of Transportation. These proposed improvements will require further study and analysis, and will need to meet Ministry standards. 2. The proposed alignment and location of specific projects remains conceptual at this time. These concepts remain subject to review and confirmation through the Planning Act, the applicable environmental assessments process established under the Environmental Assessments Act, and preliminary and detailed design. 2
INTRODUCTION Network Development Tactics Prioritize and continue with the implementation of current plans to make driving, transit, cycling and walking more efficient: Implement frequent transit network Implement 10 year roads construction program Provide travel demand management programs Optimize Broader improvements to facilities and services will expand and improve options for transit users, carpoolers, pedestrians and cyclists: Complete Lake-to-Lake Cycling Route and Walking Trail Extend Yonge Subway to Highway 7 in Richmond Hill Expand HOV Network Expand commuter parking Expand Bold steps that reshape transportation will put transit, walking and cycling first and reduce our reliance on cars: Embrace self-driving vehicles Integrate transit fares Transform streetscapes to make walking/cycling most convenient for short trips Introduce express toll lanes and paid parking in Regional centres Transform 3
