Project

Castleglenn Consultants Inc. was retained in 2007 to undertake a Master Traffic Study on behalf of the Town of Arnprior.  The study was commenced to provide the Town of Arnprior Council with a strategic plan that would identify future infrastructure requirements associated with proposed residential, industrial, and commercial growth planned for the community.  The identification of existing and future roadway/intersection improvements and their associated costs, would allow the Town of Arnprior to ensure a cohesive, affordable and organized approach to prioritizing future transportation initiatives. In addition, the Master Traffic Study assessed parking-related issues in the downtown core and investigated the potential need and triggers for additional public parking facilities.

This transportation evaluation focused on achieving the following objectives:

• Develop policy documents that would address future roadway right-of-way protection and outline traffic impact assessment requirements;
• Assess current parking characteristics (i.e. utilization and turn-over) in downtown Arnprior and the need and triggers for additional public off-street parking facilities;
• Identify future roadway infrastructure requirements and associated improvement costs for the 2015 and 2025 time horizons; and
• Address roadway network issues as identified by the municipality.
