www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, November 24, 2016 | 10 oakville.ca Coming this December -- Feedback wanted! Between December 5 and 23 tell us what you think about... Traditional streetscape furniture pieces After extensive public consultation, Council approved a traditional theme for the downtown streetscape design in October 2016. Now we need your help choosing the actual pieces. We will have two traditional options for each piece of streetscape furniture -- bike rings, bollards, streetlight poles and benches -- to show you so you can tell us which pieces you like best. Lighting -- Light colour temperature There are two types of LED fixtures -- 3000K and 4000K -- that can be used in the new streetlight poles. Each provides the same brightness, but with differing light colour (also known as light colour temperature). Compare the two and then tell us which one you prefer. Railing at the Lakeshore Road Bridge The town will be rehabilitating the Lakeshore Road Bridge at Sixteen Mile Creek starting in early 2017. We want you to review the three bridge railing options and tell us which one you like best. Flexible/curbless streets We are also exploring the use of a flexible (curbless) design of the Lakeshore Road East configuration. Learn more about the pros and cons of this design and provide us with your feedback. How can you share your comments? See for yourself -- December 5 to 23 Two traditional furniture samples of the bench, bike ring and bollard will be on display for viewing in Towne Square. Also, the two types of LED bulbs will be installed in select light poles along Lakeshore Road between Navy Street and Thomas Street so you can see the difference. Check them out, then go online, or come to our open house to tell us what you think.

Lakeshore Road Reconstruction and Streetscape Project Notice of Study Commencement Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study Lakeshore Road West Improvements (Mississaga Road to Dorval Drive) The Town of Oakville has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for improvements to Lakeshore Road West from Mississaga Road to Dorval Drive. The improvements are required to meet the needs of the town to the year 2031. The town is considering a wide range of options to satisfy travel demand within the Lakeshore Road West Corridor and within the study area. The study is being carried out in accordance with the requirements of a Schedule C project as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class EA document (October 2000, as amended in 2015), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Public Information Centre (PICs) will be held to discuss issues related to the project, including alternative solutions, evaluation criteria, environmental impacts and mitigation measures. PIC dates and details will be advertised as the study progresses. Once the study is complete, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared and available for public review and comment. A Notice of Completion will be issued at that stage. A key component of the study will involve consultation with interested stakeholders, the public and regulatory agencies. You are encouraged to provide your comments so that they may be incorporated into the planning of this project.
