NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE #3 / CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDY OAKVILLE Dundas Street (Regional Road 5) Transportation Corridor Improvements Bronte Road (Regional Road 25) to Proudfoot Trail, Town of Oakville PR-2550A Study Halton Region is undertaking a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for road improvements along the Dundas Street (Regional Road 5) corridor from Bronte Road (Regional Road 25) to Proudfoot Trail, within the Town of Oakville. To best address the travel demand along Dundas Street, a number of road improvement alternatives have been examined as part of this study, including the long-term provision for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). This study provides an opportunity to develop multi-modal transportation improvements along Dundas Street which includes enhancement as an attractive corridor for pedestrians and cyclists, integrating new and existing land uses with heritage and natural features. The Process The study is being conducted in compliance with Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended 2007 & 2011), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Previous Public Information Centres were held to obtain public input on June 23, 2011 and November 24, 2011. A third Public Information Centre will be held to present the preliminary preferred design and the implementation strategy for improvements including the provision of curb lane High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV)/transit operations in the interim and the longterm transition to BRT by 2031.

Remember to Drive SAFE this fall As a new year of school begins, Halton Region would like to remind everyone to share the road while traveling throughout Halton. The roads and neighbourhoods will be busier with children walking, bicycling, or taking the bus to and from school. Be safe, be aware and be courteous. Leave enough room on your right to pass cyclists safely and watch for pedestrians crossing the road.
