1st step of the Light Rail Transit Project Completed - Next Steps Scheduled...

Help the Region plan for a future with rapid transit

The Region of Waterloo will launch the Central Transit Corridor Community Building Strategy with two public events: the official launch on March 24 and the first public open house and workshop on March 27. The Community Building Strategy is the next step in the process of planning for development along the corridor and within rapid transit station areas.

Join us for the official launch!

Join us for the official launch of the Central Transit Corridor Community Building Strategy on March 24 from 2 to 5 p.m. in Council Chambers at 150 Frederick St., Kitchener.

Participants will have an opportunity to listen and learn about what rapid transit means for the community and how the development of the Central Transit Corridor will shape the future of growth in the region.

Speakers at the launch event will include: the Region's Commissioner of Planning, Housing and Community Services, Rob Horne, who will talk about the ongoing global transformation of our region; guest speakers from the community who will share their views on the project and its community building aspects; and members of the Region's consulting team from Urban Strategies who will outline the process for the strategy and the different opportunities for public input.

Then join the conversation!

Add your voice to the discussion at the first public open house and workshop on March 27 from 3 to 8 p.m. at Knox Presbyterian Church at 50 Erb St. W., Waterloo.

Participants at this hands-on event will work together to help shape the vision and principles for the Central Transit Corridor Community Building Strategy. The Strategy is a 10-month planning process that will examine the relationship between the Central Transit Corridor and the region's cities and neighbourhoods. It will also help identify the initiatives and investments needed to support rapid transit, as well as the community benefits that will come with it.
