Project Update – March 22, 2024: Design Workshop

The project team held a multi-day design workshop from March 5-7, 2024. This workshop was a first step in integrating the input, priorities, and feedback from community with ideas surfaced in the Ideas Challenge, as well as other more technical considerations.

The project team explored opportunities to:

• advance a vision for a complete, high-density community with diverse housing options,
• create an enhanced network of greenspaces and gathering spaces to support livability, connectedness and resilience,
• provide safer biking and pedestrian infrastructure,
• create low-carbon buildings and energy infrastructure, and
• identify Coast Salish cultural revitalization opportunities for further discussion with First Nations.

Following the design workshop, community members were invited to a public event at City Hall on the evening of March 7. Participants were able to view and provide feedback on the sketches and concepts produced during the design workshop. City staff and the project consulting team addressed questions and collected comments from over 50 attendees.

Participants at the March 7 public event look at an illustrated map.
