transportation challenges as it pertains to:

– Greenfield development – Intensification

• What should the solutions be to the challenges

identified?

• How should land use and transportation be better

integrated to manage growth?

• What are the most important land use planning

implications for development along major arterials?

• What transportation initiatives should Peel consider in

Asset Management

27

CHALLANGES AND SOLUTIONS

The Region uses asset management strategies to plan for the challenges presented by growth

Challenges

• Growing (lane km) road

network

• Average age of infrastructure

increasing

• Maj or 6 lanes urban roads

coming due for rehabilitation

• Increased costs to maintain
• Traffic management during

construction

S

• lutions
• Dynamic asset management

systems incorporating planning data

• Invest wisely, at the right

time to extend the lifecycle

• Flexible state of good repair

based budgets to plan for growth

• Avoid full reconstruction,

traffic delays

28

Planning for Growth Management Using Asset Management Tools and Strategies

– Long-term level of service/ budget proj ections to maintain state of good repair – Long-term reserve funding plan – Lifecycle extending design, construction and maintenance strategies

29

Questions:

• How can Peel best maintain its transportation infrastructure in a state of

good repair in light of increasing demands?
