Help Plan for a Safe and Connected Community!

Port Alberni is creating a Transportation Master Plan with input from the community!

The Transportation Master Plan (TMP) will establish the long-term vision for our city’s transportation network. The TMP will build upon previous efforts, including the 2014 Active Transportation Plan (see Project Documents for details), by reviewing, revising, updating, and integrating city-identified transportation projects to create a comprehensive roadmap for maintaining, enhancing, and expanding Port Alberni's transportation infrastructure. This aligns with the city’s Corporate Strategic Plan goal of creating a transportation network that supports the city’s vision for a connected, accessible, and sustainable community.

The TMP is also closely integrated with the ongoing work on the Parks, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan. Together, these plans will align efforts to enhance active transportation networks, enabling the Parks, Recreation, and Culture and Infrastructure Services departments to develop a cohesive network and route plan that links road corridors, trails, and multi-use pathways (MUPs) throughout the city's parklands and natural areas.

Public input will play a vital role in shaping the TMP, ensuring that the transportation network reflects our community’s priorities and needs for a connected, efficient, and inclusive system. Through this plan, the city aims to create a transportation network that serves both current and future generations while supporting broader financial and strategic goals.

We look forward to achieving a multimodal network that is safe and accessible for all users and meets the needs of residents and visitors alike for years to come!

Planning Process

The planning process will take place in four phases, as illustrated below. During each phase, you'll have opportunities to get involved through events, surveys, and other engagement activities. Your participation is key to shaping the future of our transportation network.

The TMP is one of many concurrent master planning projects the city is undertaking to support strategic long-term planning for civic assets. Click here to learn more about all the Master Plans!
