Transportation Master Plan
In 2023 the Township of Springwater initiated a Transportation Master Plan (TMP) to assess the impact of traffic on Township roads. This plan will explore solutions that address the projected growth until 2041. It will prioritize the secure and efficient movement of traffic within the Township and between its various communities. The plan will take into account factors such as active transportation and the smooth movement of goods.
The Township of Springwater has completed a Transportation Master Plan study to set the transportation vision and strategy for the Township’s mobility needs to the year 2041.
