City Centre Area Redevelopment Plan
City Council passed the City Centre Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) on April 27, 2020, which provides a policy framework for guiding redevelopment of the City Centre through consideration of land use, mobility, urban design, building guidelines, and implementation.
The ARP’s implementation plan has identified several projects that will commence in 2020 as the initial undertakings toward fulfilling the Plan’s City Centre vision of creating a vibrant, mixed use area. These include:
- A Parking Management Plan;
- Planning of a Revitalization Project – Phase 1 (Main & McLeod Streetscaping Design); and,
- Making Land Use Bylaw Amendments to establish regulations consistent with the new ARP policy.
