Town of Oakville officially marked the opening of reconstructed Lakeshore Road

After two phases of reconstruction, the transformation of Lakeshore Road East in downtown Oakville was marked last week with an official opening where Mayor Rob Burton, joined by Ward 3 Councillors Dave Gittings and Janet Haslett-Theall cut a ribbon to celebrate the completion of the $20 million Lakeshore Road Reconstruction and Streetscape Project and open the road to vehicles, cyclists and shoppers.

The Lakeshore Road Reconstruction and Streetscape Project launched in 2019 and was completed over a two-year period. The new streetscape positions downtown Oakville as the cultural, social and economic heart of the community for generations to come.

A video, complete with drone footage, will be posted on the town’s website within the coming days. This was such an important project for the Town of Oakville, and we hope you enjoy spending time along our revitalized Lakeshore Road, as it continues to serve as a cultural, social and economic hub of our community.

Join us for expanded outdoor, indoor and virtual recreation and culture experiences this winter!

As part of our There's Snow Place Like Home campaign throughout the winter months, the Town of Oakville is excited to introduce a wide variety of opportunities for families, youth and adults to get outside and stay active while we're practising physical distancing this season.

Offerings will include Nordic walking, guided hikes, and a variety of outdoor fitness programs. Registration for weekly classes will open at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, December 9 for residents. Drop-in programs are posted on Active Oakville up to two weeks in advance. Spaces will be limited. All programs offered follow current COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

For those looking for safe and physically-distanced indoor activities, the town currently offers limited pre-registered programming, fitness memberships, recreational swimming and skating, drop-in sport training, youth study spaces, and more. Please check our website for any updates due to changing COVID-19 restrictions.

Check out our Virtual Programs and Get Active and Creative at Home pages for more activities and resources to keep busy and social.

Families are invited to drive through the park, enjoy the festive lights, drop off a gift card or toy donation, wave or deliver a letter to Santa, all from the safety of their vehicle.
