Transportation Master Plan
The Town of Bracebridge, with the support of the District of Muskoka, is undertaking a Transportation Master Plan (TMP) study. A TMP is a long-range planning document that will guide changes to the Town’s transportation system, for all modes of travel, over the coming decades. The TMP also identifies transportation policies and strategies that, when combined with recommended infrastructure projects, will help the Town achieve its vision for the future. The TMP will be the Town’s first ever comprehensive master planning exercise for the transportation network in Bracebridge.
Have your say!
Participate in the virtual public information centre from March 28 to April 9 to:
- Review the online display boards (under the Study Publications and Reports section);
- Provide feedback on the draft recommendations (via the Survey and Comments section below); and
- Submit comments and questions for the project team.
The TMP is anticipated to be complete in Fall 2023, identifying short, medium, and long-term actions and infrastructure recommendations. The TMP study will identify existing and anticipated transportation needs and develop solutions that respond to these challenges while considering the unique context and priorities of Bracebridge.

Round 1 Consultation Summary (Draft Report) (25.2 MB) (pdf)
You should look at stopping traffic from turning right off of Manitoba Street on to Wellington Street. It is being used as a shortcut down to the flats and causing heavy traffic through there. Cars and trucks should be making the right turn at, the lights, at Monck Rd.
I would like the Wave, our public transportation mode, to have a stop at Climb Muskoka. That would benefit me and my 16 year old son greatly.
It would also benefit Climb Muskoka. Thank you for considering.
Please introduce ways to reduce the speed of vehicles on Douglas Dr. and Clearbrooke Trail. Stop signs could be placed a strategic intersections. Certainly a three way stop needs to happen at the corner of Clearbrooke Trail and Douglas Dr. where the new seniors apartments are being built. A number of people including seniors and students walk at this intersection which is busy due to school traffic including buses.
Please make Cedar Lane from High Falls to Macaulay PS safe for cyclists and pedestrians! This would connect the Resource Management Centre, Trans Canada Trail, High Falls, Wilson's Falls, and town!!
There should be a no trucks/bud/transports rule implemented on Taylor and Manitoba with the exception of delivery truck making a delivery on those roads. The number of dump trucks and transports that fly down Taylor is continuously increasing. Then they try to turn onto Manitoba to go up the hill which is barely wide enough for cars with vehicles parked on both sides.
Trucks can easily use 118 to get into the major stores along Balls Flats and in to Muskoka Lakes and then up the hill to Manitoba Street if there is the need for them to be on any of the downtown core roads.
Great to see bike lanes and walking trails will be better developed- we are a prime road biking area that could be better designated through town.
As well if there are issues with bikers on sidewalks that is a huge indicator that bikers do not feel safe on the roads. Lots of children and youth would not bike on Wellington, Taylor and Monck Rd
Love the granite benches. I would like to suggest that it would be great to have a couple of these benches placed together or near one another so we could have a conversion. We often have 4 or 5 people who would like to sit together - perhaps in a semi circle to chat.
Please consider having a fenced in playground for children. That would ensure that no dogs would be able to visit that area either when in use or not.
