Regional Transportation Review

The Town of Wadena and RM of Lakeview are concerned about safety issues related to trucks passing through Wadena, particularly in vicinity of Wadena Elementary School and Main Street. The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI), Town of Wadena and RM of Lakeview have agreed to work together in partnership to undertake a regional transportation review to identify potential solutions to alleviate safety concerns with the truck traffic. 

This review will assess regional transportation needs, constraints, and opportunities through data collection and analysis and completion of a needs assessment. Options will be developed and communicated to both stakeholders and the public for feedback. 

More information and project updates are available on the Town of Wadena website (townofwadena.com) or by calling either the RM of Lakeview 306-338-2341 or Town of Wadena 306-338-2145.

The Steering Committee met on April 25, 2019. The committee discussed the RM Ratepayers Meeting held on April 1, 2019 and the feedback received on Charlie Billings' presentation. The summary of the needs assessment complied at the previous meeting was reviewed and the committee began developing options and ideas to solve the problems identified in the needs assessment. The next steps are to refine and add to the options, develop costs, identify the pros and cons to each option, and to develop the evaluation criteria.
