Lakeshore Road West Design and Reconstruction Project
We’re improving Lakeshore Road West between Mississaga Street and Dorval Drive.
Lakeshore Road plays a key role in the town’s overall transportation network. Initiated from the Lakeshore Road West Environmental Study (EA), which assessed the current and future traffic needs along Lakeshore Road West, this multi-year project will upgrade infrastructure, improve traffic, beautify streets, and improve pedestrian/cycleways on Lakeshore Road West between Mississaga Street and Dorval Drive.
Get involved in this project by sharing your input on the design criteria and elements that should be included to enhance this section of Lakeshore Road West.
As the design process moves forward, we’d like to hear from you about the different design options.
A variety of engagement opportunities will take place over the course of the project to share information and gather feedback including both in-person and virtual engagement events, online surveys, and direct emails from the project team.
The engagement strategy mirrors the design process. The design will both inform and be informed by public engagement. There are five rounds of engagement planned.
Each round will offer different ways to participate, share feedback and raise community awareness. We will evaluate success within each round and look at opportunities for continuous improvement.
The goal of the first round of engagement opportunities is to:
The first round of engagement opportunities include:
Involve the public in developing further detailing around the preferred design options selected from the second round.
The preferred option will be selected to move on the next stage of design.
The preferred design option, selected in the third round, will be presented to the public for feedback. Public input will be considered as the final design is produced.
Information about construction phasing and traffic management will also be shared.
The final design will be presented to the public. The final design will represent the best balance of all factors based on public input received during engagement rounds one through four.
Selected trees were previously assessed and inventoried by a certified arborist during the Lakeshore Road West Improvements Class Environmental Assessment Study.
The town will be building on that work to complete a comprehensive assessment and inventory of all trees within the road right-of-way in fall 2023.
The town will be preparing comprehensive mapping of utilities within the right-of-way in fall 2023.
You may notice paint or other markers on the roadway, on sidewalks and in the boulevard.
Survey crews will be out field verifying previous engineering survey work and the base plan.
You may notice field crews working throughout the Lakeshore Road West right-of-way in fall 2023.
In addition to the Lakeshore Road West Environmental Assessment study, other studies will contribute to the detailed design. Some of these include:
