Study Backg Study Background ound 3 The City of Barrie Capital Works Program Duckworth Street, from Bell Farm Road to St. Vincent Street, has been identified for reconstruction due to its deteriorating condition and planned watermain improvements
Study Backg Study Background ound 4 The City of Barrie Multi-Modal Active MMATMP Opportunity Transportation Master Plan (MMATMP) Statement The City of Barrie’s transportation City-wide study to identify transportation system will accommodate growth needs to support growth through 2031 to 2031 and beyond. An opportunity exists to plan a transportation system which: is safe, efficient and accessible with choices in mobility fosters the use & development of a sustainable transportation network; provides a public transit system that can offer a real alternative to private automobile use provides a network of on-road & off- road pedestrian and cycling facilities that allow the use of active transportation modes as an alternative to the automobile
