Transportation Master Plan

The first ever Town of Bracebridge Transportation Master Plan (TMP) is a long-range planning document that outlines transportation infrastructure recommendations and priorities for the Town through 2044. Developed in collaboration with the District of Muskoka, the TMP supports the Town’s vision for its future transportation system by responding to current issues and priorities, as well as forecasted needs. The TMP provides an opportunity to integrate all transportation modes with an increased emphasis on safety and the environment.

The TMP is intended to encompass all forms of mobility including walking, cycling, transit, driving and the movement of goods, and considers roads within the geographic boundaries of Bracebridge, including those under the jurisdiction of the District of Muskoka.

Goals of the Transportation Master Plan

Improve Safety: Ensure people of all ages and abilities can move within and through Bracebridge safely and comfortably.
Minimize Traffic Congestion: Enable the efficient movement of residents, visitors and goods between neighbourhoods, attractions and destinations in Bracebridge.
Increase Mobility Options: Provide residents and visitors with safe active transportation and reliable transit choices, acknowledging these modes as essential services.
Preserve Local Character: Develop solutions that are sensitive to the Town’s historic character and existing neighbourhoods.
Protect the Natural Environment: Enhance the natural environment as a core piece of the community’s identity, protecting and promoting access to its natural features and scenic routes.
Support the Local Economy: Leverage transportation investment to catalyze economic growth and promote tourism.

Road Network

The road network in Bracebridge—comprising of roadways under the jurisdiction of the Town as well as the District—serves as the base for most personal and commercial travel, supporting drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, emergency services and goods movement.

Roads are an essential component of the Town’s transportation system and central to mobility, help define the charm and character of Bracebridge and foster community and are integral to the Town’s economy and quality of life.

Implementing a complete streets approach—that is, a multi-modal lens in road network planning—will best meet the needs of a growing municipality and destination for both residents and visitors.

Cycling Network

An important city-building goal of the Town of Bracebridge, as well as an important objective of the TMP, is to advance a multi-modal transportation system by providing more mobility options to residents and visitors. A key component of supporting a multi-modal system is the provision of a network that provides safe, accessible, convenient, comfortable and connected cycling facilities.

Pedestrian Network

The pedestrian network is a critical component of the transportation system that is comprised of both linear infrastructure such as sidewalks and trails, as well as pedestrian crossings that safely link the linear infrastructure across roadways. The sidewalk network in Bracebridge is largely built out in the more urban areas of the Town, and policies for continuing to build new sidewalks are also integrated through other sections of the TMP (i.e. adopting the complete streets approach, new development recommendations, and the functional road classification framework).

Transportation Master Plan

Reduced Speed Limits

June 2025 to 2026

Beginning in the urban areas of town in the summer of 2025, the Town will reduce speed limits on roads within its jurisdiction, following recommendations from the TMP and a detailed staff review. The changes will primarily impact local roads in urban areas, where default speed limits will drop from 50 km/h to 40 km/h. A limited number of rural roads will also see speed reductions beginning in 2026.

The speed changes will not take effect until appropriate signage is installed, requiring the placement of approximately 320 new signs.
