The Central Transit Corridor Community Building
Strategy will provide a framework for how our community will be built around
rapid transit. Over the past several months, a great deal of effort has gone
into understanding the context of the corridor and the direction it will take
as it develops through dozens of stakeholder interviews, workshops, open
houses, speaker events, and regular storefront hours.
Through
discussing and exploring new opportunities for mobility, place-making and
strengthening the community, we have a solid foundation for drafting the
vision and strategies for the corridor which will include enhancing mobility,
encouraging healthy communities, fostering a green corridor, creating great
places, strengthening the economy, and enhancing learning.
If
you didn't get a chance to participate, it's certainly not too late! Here are
some other ways to provide your input:
Summer Events:
It's summer! But that doesn't mean the Community
Building Strategy is on vacation. They want to meet you where you're at, so
they've arranged to be at some of Waterloo Region's favourite summer events and
festivals. Check out the summer events flyer.
Storefront:
Their storefront, located at 220 King St. W. in
Kitchener, will continue to be open during the summer months. Please drop in,
chat with staff and provide your comments. They're open Tuesday 9 a.m. to 1
p.m., Thursday noon to 5 p.m. and Friday noon to 4 p.m.
Fall Public Meetings and Events:
Plans are being made for a series of open houses
this September for you to see the draft Community Building Strategy and
provide your input.
Sept. 17, 4-7 p.m. at
Cambridge Centre for the Arts
Sept. 18, 4-7 p.m. at Knox Presbyterian
in Waterloo
Sept. 20, 4-7 p.m. at the
Storefront, 220 King St. W. in Kitchener
Mark your calendar for guest
speaker Karina Ricks, a planner with Nelson Nygaard whose work has helped
demonstrate that the decisions we make today in Waterloo Region will shape
and drive our communities, economy, and environment for the next century or
more. She will speak at 7p.m. on September 18 at the Knox Church directly
following the open house.
