The Town of The Blue Mountains has launched a questionnaire to gather feedback from the community regarding the two new parkettes proposed to be included in the Thornbury West Phase 1 Reconstruction Project. The Town is seeking public feedback about support for the project, as well as which concepts, design features and amenities should be incorporated into the final design of the parkettes. Final approval about whether or not to proceed with funding and construction of the parkettes will be decided by Town Council at a future date.
“We have a great opportunity here for the public to have their say regarding the final design of these parkettes,” said Shawn Carey, Director of Operations. “We’re looking forward to engaging with the community to find out how they’d like to see these spaces come together.”
The questionnaire can be completed until Friday, May 13, 2022 and can be accessed via the link below.
Paper copies are available upon request by calling (519) 599-3131 ext. 302 or through pickup at Town Hall and The Blue Mountains Public Library.
About the Thornbury West Phase 1 Reconstruction Project
The Town of The Blue Mountains has identified that infrastructure on Elma Street, Louisa Street, Victoria Street, Beaver Street, Park Lane and Lorne Street is approaching 100 years of age. Infrastructure issues in this area include watermain breaks, sewer deterioration, infiltration and excessive road cracking.
The Town plans to fully replace all infrastructure in this area including watermains, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, sidewalks and the road surface. Road cross sections will also be updated to ensure consistency, accessibility compliance and active transportation needs are met throughout this area.
