The Ministry of Transportation wants your thoughts on highway safety through Lake Country.

The public is invited to a workshop June 19 to provide input on potential long-term safety improvements for Highway 97.

Feedback 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 the route.

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

The workshop will use a cafe 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 workshop takes place 7 to 9 p.m. at the Lake Country Seniors Centre, 9832 Bottom Wood Lake Rd.

Space is limited, so participants are asked to register by June 18 at [email protected].
