Share input on ways to improve traffic and travel in Oakville on June 18

Work on the Town of Oakville’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) continues to help shape the future of transportation and travel in Oakville as the town continues to grow and expand. As part of this work, the town is inviting residents to get involved and provide their input at this key stage of the study process.

The town’s network of roads, bike lanes, trails, sidewalks and transit all help people commute to and from school or work, run errands, take part in activities at local parks, community centres and libraries, travel to neighbouring cities and more. Residents are invited to the TMP Public Information Centre on June 18 to learn about potential future network improvements the town can implement to best meet the needs of the community to foster Oakville’s livability and vibrancy. 

The town encourages all community members to attend and share valuable feedback on alternative solutions to ease traffic congestion in Oakville and create more opportunities for sustainable modes of transportation for everyone.
