Oakville's Transportation Future
Rick Taylor March 26, 2011 Resources, Oakville
According to Halton Region's Director of Transportation Services, Oakville will have a population of 255,000 people by 2031.
With as many as 120,000 jobs in Oakville the present transportation grid will start to have real issues by 2020 in it's current form.
Existing roadways like Trafalgar, Upper Middle Road, Ninth Line, Speers Road will all have two more lanes added. Many more roads and streets will also be upgraded/expanded.
Public transit will be integrated with the proposed Greater Toronto area Metrolinx project and public a more robust public transportation system.
The entire Halton Region proposal has an estimated cost of 1.1 to 1.4 billion between 2021 and 2031.
We have highlighted but a few of the investments being discussed but for more information we would suggest you visit Halton Region's website www.halton.ca
