The signs let residents and motorists know that construction is about to begin in the area and also act as a reminder of the Region's commitment to maintaining existing infrastructure in good repair and building infrastructure to meet the needs of new development across the region. Through a number of surveys, Halton residents have repeatedly identified infrastructure and planning for future infrastructure as top priorities. Residents want to know what projects are happening in the community, especially what road projects are underway, and what Halton's plan is for future infrastructure.
