Impact analysis
Removed projects like the Star Road backage road mean developers won't be required to fund unneeded infrastructure, but higher-priority widenings could bring future town spending.
Cyclists, pedestrians, and commuters gain safer off-street paths and clearer road priorities.
Residents near lower-priority corridors like Forestville and Heritage Lake roads may wait longer for widenings.
