Have a say in the future of your community!

You are invited to participate in the creation of a neighbourhood plan for the Corydon - Osborne area. The area includes the Corydon area as well as the part of Osborne around the new South Osborne Transit Station. This is the beginning of a planning process that will extend over the next 12 months.

Here are details of the first Design Workshop:

DESIGN WORKSHOP #1:

Wednesday, May 11, 2011
6:30 - 9:30 p.m.
River Osborne Community Centre
101 Pembina Highway @ McMillan

or

Saturday, May 14, 2011
9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Gladstone School
500 Gertrude Avenue

To register for the workshop, please RSVP to Jane at 986-2636 by Monday, May 9. Please advise if you require any accommodation in order to participate (American Sign Language, alternative formats, etc.) Refreshments will be provided at both sessions.

This session will begin with a background presentation followed by the design workshop where participants will be given an opportunity to explore alternatives for future growth and change. Those interested in participating on a Community Planning Advisory Committee over the coming months will have the opportunity to sign up at this workshop. The Committee will assist in developing the various aspects of the neighbourhood plan based on public input from this workshop. A second public design workshop in the fall will address more detailed aspects of the plan.

A neighbourhood plan is a 20-year vision for future growth and change. It may include guidelines related to: · height and shape of buildings · setbacks and alignments · location, amount and design of parking · landscape treatment · size and type of business signs · streetscape treatment · public spaces and design elements
