Royal City residents are being asked for their input about the Queensborough community plan to ensure it reflects their community values.
The City of New Westminster is preparing a draft Queensborough Community Plan, which will be a renewed vision for the community in the years to come. The plan would include specific actions, development permit guidelines and land-use designations that are needed in order to make this vision become a reality.
As part of the final phase of consultation about the Queensborough Community Plan, the city is holding a workshop to get comments about the draft vision, themes, goals, objectives and land-use plan that will form the plan. The event, taking place on Saturday, May 5 at the Queensborough Community Centre, features an open house from 10 to 10: 30 a.m. and a workshop from 10: 30 a.m. to 2: 30 p.m.
"Queensborough is a distinctive and historic community that reflects its enduring relationship with the Fraser River in its character and economy," states the draft "vision" for Queensborough, as outlined in the city's community plan.
"The culturally diverse and complete community offers a range of housing options, and an array of locally focused services and amenities to meet the daily needs of residents. Queensborough capitalizes on its proximity to transportation routes to provide citywide and regional economic destination. Queensborough celebrates its natural and heritage features and balances the needs of the community by conserving and enhancing key economic and environmental assets, including retaining the waterfront as industrial, ecological and public resources. The community is pedestrian friendly and well connected by an enhanced Ewen Avenues and a network of parks, open spaces and greenways."
