The Town of LaSalle is undertaking a study to assess the feasibility of a new transit service in the Town. This first stage of the study will identify:
The general activities of this first phase of the study is outlined in the schedule below.
In an effort to reach out to as many members of our community as possible, our public engagement plan includes conducting a telephone survey to LaSalle households, a public information drop-in session and meetings with town stakeholders.
The telephone survey took place in early November and over 400 households participated. The feedback and responses from the survey will be incorporated into the feasibility assessment.
A public information drop-in session was held on November 18, 2015 at the Vollmer Culture and Recreation Complex. The public information presentation boards (PDF) are available for your review. We will also be reaching out to community stakeholders to learn more about their views on the transportation needs of the Town.
While the public information drop-in session is complete, your comments are welcome throughout the study process. Please contact the project management team at the bottom of this page to share your ideas and experiences or download and submit the questionnaire (PDF).
Specifically, we want to know your thoughts on the following questions:
For example: Vollmer Centre, Malden Road corridor, 5950 Malden Road
For example: Devonshire Mall, St. Clair College, University of Windsor
Comments received on or before December 9, 2015 will be incorporated into our feasibility assessment.
Below is list of documents related to the transit feasibility and implementation study. This page will be updated with new information as the study progresses:
