Asset Management Plan

All municipalities in Ontario are required to prepare baseline asset management plans for core municipal infrastructure assets. An asset management planning (AMP) is an ongoing and long-term process that allows municipalities to make the best possible investment decisions for their infrastructure assets. This includes:

  • Building
  • Operation
  • Maintenance
  • Renewal
  • Replacement
  • Disposal

An asset management plan is a strategic document that provides a snapshot of current conditions and establishes a basis for future asset management planning and decision making.

Local Efficiency Group (LEG)

A Local Efficiency Group (LEG) refers to a collaborative arrangement where multiple municipalities or local government entities work together to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance service delivery. These groups focus on sharing resources, services, and expertise, which can include joint purchasing agreements, shared staffing or equipment, and coordinated service delivery (such as shared fire, police, or public works services).

Master Transportation Plan

The Town of Renfrew (Town) has identified the need for the expansion of the transportation network to serve development needs over the next 20 years and beyond. Closures of the CN and CPKC Railway corridors, as well as the planned Highway 417 freeway extension from Arnprior to Renfrew, will continue to accelerate growth in the Town.

  • A comprehensive and sustainable transportation plan is essential for the municipality to:
    Continue to plan for efficient development.
  • Plan for the rehabilitation and replacement of existing infrastructure.
  • Establish consistent transportation standards.

The Master Transportation Plan (MTP) (this report) prioritizes the implementation of transportation infrastructure and Active Transportation infrastructure for short-term, medium-term and long-term planning horizons to address existing and future capacity demands.
This (MTP) provides an outline of a staged plan for programs, policies and projects which will improve existing transportation infrastructure within the Town. The study area is in Figure 1 and is not limited to the Town municipal boundaries.

In partnership with stakeholders (such as the County, local surrounding municipalities, and the Ministry of Transportation), the study developed and reviewed potential programs, policies and projects to improve infrastructure and connectivity and to promote safety throughout the Town. Benefits of implementing the plan include:

  • Opportunities to support local businesses and grow the eco-tourism industry in the Town.
  • Improvements to the aesthetics, traffic operations, and safety of existing transportation 
    facilities.
  • An environmentally sustainable and healthier community.
     

The MTP is proposed as a living document that will serve as a general guide and will evolve over time to satisfy changing needs, opportunities, and priorities within the Town.
