Residents of Grimsby, Ontario, now have a 30-day window to review the town’s long-term transportation strategy before it is finalized. The completed Transportation Master Plan is now available for public feedback, with comments accepted until August 10, 2026. The plan outlines how roads, transit, walking, and cycling will be shaped over the next 20-plus years.
The plan was developed by the town in partnership with consulting firm CIMA+. It covers strategies for road safety, parking, active transportation, and complete streets. According to projections in the town’s planning documents, Grimsby’s population is expected to nearly double from roughly 28,000 to 51,000 by 2051.
Two public information centres were held earlier, on June 18, 2024 and February 12, 2026, where draft recommendations were shared. The plan now reflects community input gathered at those sessions. Residents can review the full document and submit comments through the town’s Let’s Talk Grimsby platform.
The Transportation Master Plan comes as major transit investment arrives in Grimsby. Construction on the new Grimsby GO Station started on July 7, 2026, with an opening expected in summer 2027, according to the Town. The station will include one platform, 220 parking spaces, a bus loop, and pick-up and drop-off areas. It is part of a provincial effort to expand GO Transit service, backed by over $14 billion in investment.
Grimsby Town Council, which includes Mayor Jeff Jordan and eight ward councillors serving a term that ends in 2026, will consider final adoption of the plan after the review period. The plan is meant to guide growth responsibly while maintaining a high quality of life, as outlined in the town’s strategic priorities.
