The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is inviting the public to an upcoming workshop to provide input on potential long-term safety improvements for Highway 97 through Lake Country.

The public input received will help direct the newly launched Highway 97 Lake Country Transportation Planning Study, a two-year comprehensive transportation plan that will identify and assess options to improve safety and transportation on Highway 97.

The study area will extend from Duck Lake to Lodge Road in Lake Country, with a focus on the Glenmore/Beaver Lake Road intersection.

The workshop will use a “world café” format, where people gather at tables to discuss a variety of related topics provided by the host before sharing their ideas with the wider group.

The media and public are welcome to attend the workshop below.

Event date: Wednesday, June 19, 2019

Time: 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
