Abstract

This study provides policies and guidelines to assist municipalities in integrating goods movement considerations into land use planning. Specifically it shows how public officials can improve freight mobility to make business more competitive and improve the overall economic health of their municipalities and the broader southern Ontario region centred on Toronto. The study addresses freight movement planning and design issues at three levels: the transportation network or system level; the facilities level (focussing on both on-street and offstreet loading/unloading and manoeuvering requirements) and the operational level (dealing with the design and operation of roadway facilities). The study report thus presents a comprehensive set of policies and guidelines for use by municipal urban planners, and transportation planners and engineers.
