T own responds to province's draft Bill 108 regulations
Not enough information to provide comprehensive comments; the commenting periods have been too short; and it still remains unclear how Bill 108 will deliver more affordable housing and ensure that growth will pay for growth. These are the overarching comments the Town of Oakville has shared with the province regarding a recently released set of proposed regulations related to Bill 108 - the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019. 

Bill 108 will have a serious impact on the town. Among the concerns is that Bill 108 will change the financial tools available to the town to fund parks, libraries, recreation centres and other community infrastructure. It will also change where the town can require new affordable housing, how heritage buildings are conserved and how development applications are reviewed.

Flood update

Good news! The water along our shoreline has receded enough that staff were able to open a few parks and trails. The splash pad at Coronation Park is now open with only a few small areas still fenced off. Water Street is also open as well as Francis Street (in front of Lyons Log Cabin) and Shipyard Park. S taff continue with clean-up activities and debris removal. Please check our Closures Due to High Lake Levels web page for up-to-date information. 
Be coyote-smart 

Residents can sometimes come across coyotes while walking their dogs. Coyotes try to avoid humans, but may view dogs as a threat and may follow you to get you to leave the area. If you know what to expect and how to behave around coyotes, negative experiences can be avoided. Keep dogs on a short leash, avoid areas known to have coyotes, practice hazing to keep a coyote's fear of humans. Visit our website for more tips on how to be safe and coyote-smart.
Learn the rules

Ten new pedestrian crossovers are coming to Oakville this fall. 
Pedestrian crossovers are a new way for pedestrians to easily and safely cross the road. By law, drivers and cyclists must stop and yield to pedestrians intending to cross the road and wait for them to completely reach the other side before proceeding. Look for the signs and markings on the road and be prepared to stop when you see a pedestrian waiting to cross. Check the website for a list of locations near you.
