During the public engagement process for Strathcona Neighbourhood Renewal, the project team has used surveys as a tool to collect public input to inform the final design which was presented in September 2018. The surveys posted here are for reference only, the period for feedback on these specific questions has closed. Hundreds of factors needed consideration including input from the nearly 9,000 residents who live, work and play in Strathcona, each with individual needs, desires and opinions.
While all resident and stakeholder input and technical factors were considered, it was not possible to meet every need; compromises and trade-offs had to be made. The final design is the result of months of listening, learning, understanding, creating and balancing those needs. Decisions were made with both today and the future in mind, as the new infrastructure will be in place for the next 40 to 50 years.
