Transportation Master Plan and Survey

The Town of Tillsonburg has retained Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited to develop the Town of Tillsonburg’s first Transportation Master Plan (TMP).

A Transportation Master Plan considers current trends, anticipates future needs, and makes recommendations to improve the way residents move around the community. More specifically, Tillsonburg’s first Transportation Master Plan will:

• Guide transportation investment decisions over the next 10 years and beyond
• Recommend ways to optimize the performance of existing infrastructure
• Consider sustainability and be accompanied by a phasing plan tied to growth, affordability and community priorities

Citizens are invited to provide input on the Transportation Master Plan by completing a short online survey. The survey addresses how residents travel in Tillsonburg and asks for ideas on how to improve our transportation network. Learn more at www.tillsonburg.ca/tmp2024

Have your say on changes to curbside waste collection

Oxford County is looking for public feedback on changes to the curbside collection program. An online survey is open now until April 30, 2024. Future changes to curbside collection could include:

• the start of a “green bin” program to collect residential source-separated organics (e.g., food scraps);
• changes to how often garbage is collected;
• changes to how waste is collected on statutory holidays;
• waste collection in urban versus rural areas;
• limits on how many garbage bags can be set out at the curb; and,
• the use of clear garbage bags to ensure recyclable or organic material is not thrown out with garbage.
