Major Thoroughfare Plan

A Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTP) is a long-range plan that shows a vision for the Town’s transportation network. It provides guidance for future growth and is a regulatory plan for public investments and future improvements to roads, sidewalks, and multimodal facilities.

The final draft of the MTP was adopted by the Planning Commission on August 27th, 2019.  The official version is available here.

 The All Aboard Comprehensive Planning Process, started in Summer 2021, will update this document along with the Town General Plan and Land Development Ordinance.

MTP Planning Process and Community Feedback

Public Meetings

The first MTP public meeting was held on Tuesday, April 16, 2019 at the Thompson’s Station Community Center and was hosted by the project team, which consists of Town staff and Barge Design Solutions, a local planning and engineering consulting firm. The 51 attendees at the meeting learned about the purpose of the MTP and provided input that will be used to shape the plan.

Participants were invited to view and provide comment on several exhibits, all of which are available for download using the links below. Boards 5, 6, and 7 were “feedback stations” that encouraged active participation by attendees.
