Oakville' s 2016 Annual Report is now available for viewing on the Town' s website. Town staff said the report highlights key achievements the Town has made in deliver ing on goals outlined in the 2015-2018 Stra tegic Plan. "Providing the public with a `report card' on the projects and issues affecting their community is one critical way council and staff work to engage with residents," said Oakville Mayor Rob Burton. "Council is proud to share some of the key accomplishments of 2016 in this year' s An nual Report." The report noted that an audit performed by the external auditors KPMG found the hnancial statements prepared by the Town to be a fair presentation of the financial posi tion and hnancial results for the past year. It also outlined some of what the Town listed as its key successes in 2016, including: · Efforts to move forward in revital izing the historic downtown through the Lakeshore Road East Reconstruction and Streetscape Project. In consultation with the community, a traditional streetscape furni ture theme will be incorporated once the project begins in 2019. · Public input helping to shape the future use of the former hospital site lands, with demolition set to begin this fall and a new community centre scheduled to open in 2020. · The introduction of the Public Engage ment Hub, Livable Oakville Performance Dashboard, launch of Oakville Transit' s Real-Time Bus Tracking app, and additions to open data sets all helped to advance the Town' s web and digital strategies. · Continued partnership with Oakville' s three Business Improvement Areas helping these business districts move forward on their retail action plans with the implemen tation of the patio and parking strategy. · Several reviews of the Town' s Livable Oakville Plan, which took place in 2016 to explore how the Town will accommodate growth and development in the years ahead.
