Truck Route Master Plan Study



This study was initiated to develop a comprehensive Truck Route Master Plan for the City of Hamilton that will review the following issues:
  • Hamilton is a major transportation centre 
    • Major port 
    • Air cargo hub 
    • Road and rail routes serve the busiest transportation corridor in Canada
                                  • Economy needs efficient movement of goods that is safe and minimizes the impact on the environment and the community
                                    • The Truck Route Master Plan Study will investigate alternative solutions and select a plan that responds to stakeholder views, and that strives for equity among residents and industry.

                                      The study is to be carried out according to the guidelines set out for Municipal Class Environmental Assessments (EA). The EA process ensures that a reasonable range of alternatives are considered and that the public and other stakeholders have sufficient input into the decision process.


                                      Meetings for this study were held on the following days,
