Switching Gears (the towns Transportation Master Plan update) has just been launched to develop a practical, long-term action plan to guide the development of the towns transportation system to meet the needs of planned growth. This study will define existing problems/opportunities, consider and evaluate solutions, and will identify an optimum transportation system to the year 2031. To comply with the Environmental Assessment Act, the study is being conducted in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process. Following the open house, the next step in the process will be to develop a preferred transportation strategy taking into account comments that will be received from stakeholders and the public. A second public open house will be arranged early in 2012 to review the preferred transportation strategy and receive additional comments from you. If you have any questions related to this study or wish to be added to our mailing list for updates on Switching Gears, please contact: Switching Gears Core Team, Town of Oakville, 1225 Trafalgar Road, Oakville ON L6H 0H3. tmp@oakville.ca. 905-815-6060 For up-to-date information visit www.oakville.ca This notice first issued on October 5, 2011.
