The county's public works and engineering department is embarking on a blueprint to assist with long-range future planning for Renfrew County and local governments.
Operations committee director Dave Darch recently presented the concept of a master transportation strategy to the committee. The strategy would not only focus on the vehicular traffic on Renfrew County's more than 800 kilometres of roads, but also how to meet the increasing needs of cyclists, pedestrians, ATV and snowmobile users who also share the county roads and use the many intricate trail networks spread across the county.
"There is quite a shift to active transportation," Mr. Darch said following his presentation. "We want to go beyond the roads and cars."
