Lakeshore Road West Design and Reconstruction Project

The goal of the first round of engagement opportunities is to: 

• Provide introductory information about the project including background, design process and engagement opportunities.
• Understand stakeholder interests and areas of concern.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to identify existing corridor characteristics, context and constraints.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to define the design considerations and review the recognized design criteria (e.g., current standards and guidelines, best practices, etc.).
• Involve stakeholders in establishing the evaluation criteria that will assist in the comparison of multiple preliminary design options, to be developed in early 2024.

The first round of engagement opportunities include:

• An introductory in-person event that may include an informational presentation, an open question forum or panel discussion and an interactive component.
• Mid-phase engagement will offer:
  • one-on-one meetings with stakeholders and interest groups, 
  • targeted outreach to underrepresented groups, and 
  • on-demand participation opportunities such as an online survey. 
• A virtual event to end the round will share the outcomes of the public engagements and identify next steps.

• Involve and collaborate with the public in developing multiple design options for Lakeshore Road West. 
• Design options may depict different ways to balance priorities and ways of achieving the town’s objectives for Lakeshore Road West. 
• The public will have an opportunity to provide input to and then comment on the design options at different stages in the second round. 
• The preferred options will be selected to move on to the next stage of design.

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.
