Notice of Public Information Centre 2 for Road Safety Action Plan
The Township of West Lincoln (West Lincoln) has initiated the development of a Road Safety Action Plan. The Study aims to guide long-term mobility safety policy and investment decisions to ultimately reduce traffic-related injuries and fatalities across both urban and rural areas of West Lincoln while supporting Township’s broader strategic infrastructure goals and road network priorities. West Lincoln has engaged LEA Consulting Ltd. to undertake the Study.
Public Information Centre 2
On Thursday, June 25, 2026, a Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held to share the preliminary future directions for the Road Safety Study and Action Plan. The project team will present the proposed emphasis areas, related safety and risk-reduction strategies, examples of draft action plans, the project timeline, and a summary of the work completed to date.
The purpose of PIC #2 is to provide an update on the project, including a summary of feedback from PIC #1, key insights from stakeholder consultation, and results from two (2) road safety surveys conducted in late fall 2025. PIC #2 will also share findings from the pilot project, outline road safety and strategic directions for 13 emphasis areas, and present examples of draft action plans for priority areas. In addition, the session will introduce initial recommendations for implementing and monitoring safety mitigation projects in West Lincoln and provide an overview of next steps in the study process.
The Project Team is seeking public and stakeholder input on road safety concerns for roads under the jurisdiction of West Lincoln. This feedback will help guide future road safety action plans and recommendations for implementing the proposed safety countermeasures.
All interested parties, residents and stakeholders are invited to attend the Public Information Centre and provide comments on the information shared. Members of the Project Team will be available to answer questions and receive comments. Please provide comments on the PIC #2 presentation materials on June 25, 2026, during PIC and final comments by July 10, 2026.
