About the Project
The goal of this project is to improve the function and aesthetic of the commercial centre and encourage community access and use. The approach associated with this project is to make the public space surrounding the commercial space more inviting by increasing the perception of safety, connect the business and community with amenable, attractive infrastructure and pedestrian-oriented landscaping.
This project is specific to the public realm enhancements in Patricia Heights focused on improvements to the City owned land bordering the commercial centre at 156 Street and 77A Avenue.
The intent of this project is to develop and deliver streetscape infrastructure enhancements to provide small and functional elements that contribute to area beautification and connectivity to the local community.
Public Engagement
Strategy Phase
Engagement was conducted through a survey. This helped to define priorities for enhancements, including:
- Exploration options for pedestrian lighting
- Integration landscape improvements
- Consideration of bike rack additions
Concept Phase
Concept Phase moves the project from Strategy and is the early representation of how the project may take shape considering stakeholder inputs, site constraints and project resources.
The City hosted a drop-in event on August 8, 2018 providing an opportunity to residents and stakeholders to help us make adjustments to the concept plans for the Patricia Heights Corner Store Streetscape Enhancement Project. Participants were able to engage in review of the proposed concept designs, speak to the project team and complete a survey to provide their feedback. The City captured perspectives, insights and preferences to inform the next project phase, Design.
