Official Plan and Integrated Mobility Plan

A decorative banner showing a stylized map made up of coloured blocks and purple streets. In a white box on the left text says, "YG220K".

YG220K is Kingston’s shared vision for the next 25 years. The name combines YGK (the city’s airport code) and 220K, the projected population by 2051. It represents a combined approach of two key plans: the Official Plan, which guides land use and growth, and the Integrated Mobility Plan, which shapes the future transportation network.

Two plans, one coordinated approach

The Official Plan and Integrated Mobility Plan are two separate plans with two distinct purposes but are very much intertwined. If you're planning for future land uses and planning for growth, it makes sense to plan for how the transportation network will support that growth. Likewise, it’s important to plan for growth in areas where transportation infrastructure investments are already being made.

For the first time in our history, the City of Kingston will be completing these two plans at the same time. Doing so opens up the opportunity to have a more complete conversation about the future growth of the City and about how we grow in a more connected, deliberate way. Having these two plans completed at the same time presents a great opportunity for collaboration and improvement – so, we're taking it.


Integrated Mobility Plan

Focuses on how people will move throughout the city to get to where they need to go, from now to 2051. The plan will lay out a blueprint for roads, frequent transit corridors, and active transportation infrastructure over the coming years. To accommodate the growth that is envisioned sustainably, equitably, and efficiently, our future transportation network will need to provide options for people of all ages and abilities. The integrated mobility plan will follow a few months behind the Official Plan, allowing it to be in lockstep with the planned origins and destinations of where people will need to go.

Draft transportation network recommendations are now available for public review and comment, including networks for pedestrian connections, cycling facilities, high-frequency transit corridors, and roads across Kingston. These are draft, planning-level recommendations. The networks will continue to be refined based on public feedback, further technical review, prioritization, and future Council decisions.

Leave a Pin on the Draft Maps

We've launched four interactive maps to make it easy to comment on specific locations, connections, or improvements. Select a map, place a pin, and share what you think. You can provide feedback on the draft networks until May 29.

Each pin can be tagged as:

  • Like - I like this improvement because…
  • Concern - I have a concern about this improvement because…
  • Suggestion - I have a suggestion for a new improvement or connection…

Open House Boards

The information boards from Public Information Centre #2 provide more context on the draft networks and are also open for comment you can view and comment on them below or open them in full screen.

Comments are open until May 29, 2026. You can also reach the project team directly at mobilityplan@cityofkingston.ca.

All feedback received will help shape the future of transportation in Kingston and inform transportation-related inputs to the new Official Plan.



Official Plan

Sets the City's land use plans for the next 25 years, approximately, until 2051. It will outline how residential, commercial, industrial and other land uses will be built in the city. Kingston is growing and the Official Plan will ensure that the city continues to be livable, diverse, equitable and prosperous by strategically directing growth. This plan will be used as the basis of other plans and bylaws the City will develop and update including the servicing plans, the zoning bylaw, parks plans, recreation plans and more, they all build off the details in the Official Plan.

The second draft of Kingston’s new Official Plan

Thank you for taking the time to review the second draft of the City of Kingston’s new Official Plan. We’re excited to share it with you. For more background on this please read our news release.

The Second Draft of the Official Plan builds on the First Draft released in Summer 2025 and reflects feedback received from the community and technical review. The draft continues to refine the policy framework that will guide how the community grows and develops to 2051, including policies related to housing, infrastructure, mobility, climate resilience, and the protection of natural areas.

The Second Draft of the Official Plan, updated mapping, and a Feedback and Response Summary outlining how comments on the First Draft have been considered are available. Additional supporting materials have also been posted on DASH to support a more detailed review. DASH materials include a tracked changes version of the Official Plan, which highlights revisions made between the First and Second Drafts, along with additional background information prepared as part of the project. DASH materials are available under File Number D09-001-2026 under the ‘Record Info’ drop-down menu.

Responses to comments received on the urban boundary expansion applications are available in DASH, under the ‘Record Info’ drop-down menu for each of the applications:

A draft Natural Heritage Study has also been released and further information can be found on the Natural Heritage Study project website.
