Red Deer city council will take a final look at what’s in store for the future of transportation in the city.

Red Deer city council will take a final look at what’s in store for the future of transportation in the city.

Following two months of public consultation, the draft Mobility Playbook comes to council for approval on Monday.

The playbook is essentially a framework for transportation planning that includes all modes to move around the city. Council took a first look at the plan in March before it went out for public consultation.

The main change is a new and final plan related to a balanced road network for drivers, transit riders, pedestrians and cyclists.

The city will start work on a number of plans, should the draft be adopted. The trails, transit and transportation master plans will incorporate the ideas from the playbook and provide more detail to balance the needs of residents for mobility.

The playbook stems from the Integrated Movement Study, a major transportation workplan.
