Main page content begins here

Overlanders and Homesteader have been chosen for Neighbourhood Renewal. Planning and design is currently underway.

Community Feedback on Draft Design - November 2023

Thank you to those who shared their ideas and feedback with us over the past year through the Building a Project Vision Together, Exploring Opportunities and Exploring Options and Tradeoffs project stages. The Project Team has now created a draft design that meets current City standards, policies and technical considerations and considers public input.

We invite you to review the draft design and help us REFINE it to ensure it reflects the Vision and Guiding Principles for Neighbourhood Renewal in Overlanders and Homesteader.

The What We Heard Report from the Exploring Options and Tradeoffs stage is also now available.

We commit to considering feedback to refine the draft design to reflect the Vision and Guiding Principles for Overlanders and Homesteader.

About the Project

Neighbourhood Renewal 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, roll, drive and gather in the neighbourhood, and how they enjoy City-owned parks and open spaces are also explored.

A series of public events will be scheduled by the project team which will give residents the opportunity to build a project vision and guiding principles together and provide regular feedback on the different stages of the project including design.

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 out of Your Neighbourhood

The Building Great Neighbourhoods project team are genuinely interested guests, stepping into your neighbourhood like a visitor in your home. We want to learn and appreciate how you live and what you value in your community. Through public engagement we will gain an understanding about what you need and value in your neighbourhood.

We seek to involve you in decision making to shape the vision for engagement and neighbourhood improvements. Working together, we can make the most out of your neighbourhood.

How to Get Involved

We have created a road map to help you and your neighbours understand the steps of the renewal process and how you can participate. At each step we will tell you what the purpose is and how your input will inform the decisions being made. We commit to report back on how we used your input.

Concept Phase

The Concept phase is when we need to hear from you the most! We need your help to co-create a vision and guiding principles, explore opportunities, and explore options and tradeoffs. These are the most important pieces for your Neighbourhood Renewal and will be used to create a draft design to best meet your neighbourhood needs.

Design Phase

During the Design phase, we want your input on the refined designs for your neighbourhood. Your feedback will be incorporated into the final design, alongside technical requirements and City policies. These designs were created from the vision and guiding principles we co-created together. You shared your input, we incorporated your feedback, now we build!

Build Phase

During the Build phase, we want to hear your concerns about how construction may affect your private property.

Building a Project Vision Together and Exploring Opportunities - December 2022

Thank you to everyone who engaged with us on the Building a Project Vision Together and Exploring Opportunities stages of the project. The online survey closed on December 7, 2022 and we appreciate everyone who met with us and took the time to provide their feedback. The feedback gathered will be used to create a draft project Vision and Guiding Principles and to develop design options for improvements in the neighbourhood.

As we move forward into our Exploring Options and Tradeoffs stage of engagement we look forward to having a conversation with residents about the benefits and trade-offs of potential options. We will use the feedback from this conversation to identify what the community, as a whole, deems important to maintain and what is flexible when we REFINE the Neighbourhood Renewal design.

We will use City Policy, technical analysis and your input to create a draft design to share with your community in the fall of 2023. Please see the Scope Map for details.
