Major study findings and recommendations will be on display for viewing. As one of many follow up initiatives to the 2004 Kerr Village Revitalization Study, a consultant was retained by the Town of Oakville to conduct the Kerr Street Area Traffic Study. The purpose of the study was to test the capability of the planned transportation network to accommodate travel demands in the long term (2021). The Traffic Study proposes a land use/transportation scenario that best achieves the 2004 Revitalization Study vision. These recommendations were first presented at a public meeting in May 2007. The purpose of the Open House is to allow stakeholders the opportunity to view the recommended land use and transportation scenario proposed by the consultant. Visit the Town's website at http://www.oakville.ca/livable-kerr.htm for more information and to review the draft traffic study.
