Building Great Neighbourhoods - Central McDougall

Project Update - January 2019

Thank you to those who attended the Pre-Construction Public Event on Wednesday January 16, 2019 to view the final designs for the neighbourhood, learn more about the planned two-year construction and decide on the sidewalk Local Improvement. 

The final neighbourhood designs were developed based on the feedback received throughout the public engagement process from January to November 2018. They take into consideration City policies and programs, technical feasibility and available funding. The final neighbourhood plans include:

• Residential streets
• Traffic measures
• Commercial streets
• Bike infrastructure
• City-owned outdoor spaces

Project Update - November 2018

Thank you to those who attended the Central McDougall - Renewing Local Infrastructure Event on November 7 to share feedback on the preliminary plans for new infrastructure in the neighbourhood. The preliminary plans included improvements to:

• Residential streets
• Traffic measures
• Commercial streets
• Bike infrastructure
• Parks and green spaces

They were developed based on the feedback received throughout the public engagement process, which started in January 2018, including the recent input we received from the public event and the survey in September. What is shown in the preliminary plans is dependent on available funding and final City approvals.

Watch for the next public engagement event in January 2019, which will confirm the final construction design for the 2019 – 2020 neighbourhood renewal.

Project Update and What We Heard Report (Phase II)

In April 2018, the City invited people to attend one of two identical workshops and participate in an online or hard copy survey. The What We Heard report shares the results of Phase II of the City’s public engagement efforts held in April.

Participants were asked to share ideas to refine a project vision and set of important elements to guide the City’s work in the neighbourhood. They were also asked to share advice about the neighbourhood. 54 people participated in the public engagement activities.

Further to the public engagement, the project team visited the Central McDougall numerous times in May and June to examine the neighbourhood and the areas that were identified for potential improvements. The City will engage further with the public in the summer/fall to collect additional thoughts and suggestions. You can sign up to receive notifications of when opportunities for engagement are made available.

Public Workshops - April 2018

Building Great Neighbourhoods held two Vision and Priorities Public Workshops to confirm the project vision and important elements that will set the direction for the Central McDougall neighbourhood renewal.

This was an opportunity to help us understand how you move, connect and enjoy the neighbourhood.

Stakeholder Outreach Workshop - March 8, 2018

Businesses and organizations in Central McDougall were invited to a stakeholder workshop to learn more about the Central McDougall neighbourhood renewal. This was a facilitated workshop to provide the initial opportunity for ideas for what the community, as a whole, is hoping the renewal work will achieve. Themes from this session will be presented at the public meeting in April.
