Timing and phasing of the reconstruction is a major concern to the downtown business community as the work is expected to be disruptive for many businesses and patrons. Last November, Oakville's Planning and Development Council agreed on a 2019 start time to allow the downtown more time to recover from recent economic difficulties before reconstruction begins. The plan would see the conversion of the downtown area to a two-way street system beginning in 2016 or 2017. The phasing of the plan would see the reconstruction of Lakeshore Road, from the Lakeshore bridge to Dunn Street in the first year (2019) and from Dunn Street to Allan Street in year two (2020). Cost range is $200,000 to $350,000 The estimated cost of this project is between $200,000 and $350,000. The Lakeshore Road Reconstruction and Streetscape Project was approved as part of the Downtown Transportation and Streetscape Study (DTS), which looked at the configuration and current traffic and road conditions in the downtown. It examined ways to enhance the roadways, beautify streets, upgrade pedestrian and cycling facilities by introducing new design standards, as well as increasing connectivity, mobility and accessibility to the downtown. Another public meeting this spring An additional public meeting will take place in the spring to present the final streetscape selections. Town staff said these accessories and materials would also be used going forward as other streets in downtown Oakville are reconstructed.
