Work will begin at Navy Street, end at Dunn Street and be completed by the end of April.
Phase 1: Navy Street – Dunn Street: April – November 2019
Phase 2: Dunn Street – Allan Street: April – November 2020
Parking:
During the Lakeshore Road reconstruction, Council has approved a parking program to help attract customers and visitors to downtown Oakville.
First hour free parking with Honk
Use the promo code DOWNTOWN in the Honk Mobile App to get your first hour of parking free at a metered space or in a municipal parking lot in downtown Oakville.
Free weekend parking
Parking at a metered space or in a municipal parking lot has always been free on Sundays and holidays. During the reconstruction, parking at a metered space or in a municipal parking lot will also be free on Saturdays.
New municipal parking lot F
The former fire hall lot at the corner of Randall Street and Navy Street will be converted into a temporary parking lot to provide more parking options for visitors, customers and employees in downtown Oakville.
More on-street parking spaces
When Lakeshore Road is closed for construction, the side streets in the immediate blocks become temporary dead end streets. These streets will be converted to create more parking spaces by providing perpendicular parking along on side of the street. This will create more parking spaces for convenient access to the stores, restaurants and businesses near the road closure.
Ongoing parking programs
Parking will continue to be provided for visitors, customers and employees throughout downtown Oakville during the Lakeshore Road reconstruction project. Parking at the on-street metered spaces and in the municipal parking lots is free after 6 pm and all day on Sundays and holidays.

With the free Honk Mobile app, you can easily search, pay for and top up parking from a phone, tablet or computer. This payment option is easy and quick to use so you can get to where you want to go!
