Engagement Summary

Public engagement was a key component of the Urban Design Framework (UDF) project and was undertaken in two phases. Phase One focused on understanding community perceptions, priorities, and aspirations to help inform the initial development of the UDF. Engagement activities included a downtown walking tour, an in-person workshop, and a community survey.

Phase Two focused on refining the draft UDF through an additional public survey. The key findings from the two phases are summarized in the What We Heard Report. Overall, the engagement project helped validate the framework’s direction, with the feedback received directly informing and shaping the recommendations and design guidance included in the final UDF.

We would like to thank everyone who participated in the public engagement process for the UDF project. Your input has played an important role in shaping the final framework, and we look forward to implementing the UDF as we continue to enhance and revitalize Downtown.
