Exploring Options and Tradeoffs- July 2024
Thank you to everyone who engaged with the project team during the Exploring Options and Tradeoffs stage of La Perle and Belmead Neighbourhood Renewal. The online survey closed on May 21, but you can still review the design options:
The public engagement activities and participation are now summarized in the Engagement Summary.
A What We Heard Report summarizing your feedback is now available.
The feedback gathered will be used to create a draft design for La Perle and Belmead Neighbourhood Renewal. In fall 2024, we will share the draft design with you and ask for your input as we move into the Community Feedback on Draft Design stage of Neighbourhood Renewal.
During this stage, we commit to using the priorities we heard during the engagement to inform the draft design for the project.
About The Project
Neighbourhood reconstruction rehabilitates residential roads, replaces street lights, sidewalks, curbs, and gutters, and adds missing sidewalk links, where possible. Other opportunities to improve how people walk, bike, drive and gather in the neighbourhood, and how they enjoy City-owned parks and open spaces are also explored.
At the beginning of the project, the Project Team will work with the community to create a project Vision and Guiding Principles. People who live, work and play in La Perle and Belmead will be asked for regular feedback on the different stages of the project.
Cost-sharing opportunities will be made available through the Local Improvement process for sidewalk reconstruction and decorative street light upgrades in the neighbourhood. Arterial roads and alleys are not included in the scope of work.
Working together to make the most of your neighbourhood
This is your city and your neighbourhood. We want to understand how you experience your neighbourhood and ask for your input on what we might do to make it better. We will engage and work with you on the renewal of roads, sidewalks, street lights and park spaces and promote other community opportunities to enhance how people live and interact in your neighbourhood. We commit to being open and transparent about how your input is used. Let’s make the most out of your neighbourhood.
