Grandview Sub-Area Workshop

What do the next few decades hold for the Grandview sub-area? As part of the larger Grandview-Woodland community planning process, this upcoming workshop will explore policy directions that will help shape growth and change in this particular part of the neighbourhood.

Grandview refers to the area east of Commercial Drive (bounded by Hastings Street, East 8th/Grandview Cut and Garden Drive). The purpose of the Grandview sub-area workshop is to look at the draft policies that were previously developed for the area (e.g on housing, heritage, neighbourhood retail retail, Victoria Drive traffic) as well as the community feedback that was received, and to work to refine the directions for the sub-area.

At the end of the session, participants will have helped to identify key options for Grandview, including:

– Land-use and building types,
– Housing,
– Local economy,
– Public spaces.

This work will then be integrated into the larger, neighbourhood-wide planning process, including the work of the Grandview-Woodland Citizens’ Assembly.

Other workshops will focus on different parts of the GW Plan area – but if the area east of Commercial Drive is of interest to you, this is the workshop for you!

Lunch and snacks will be provided and childcare is available upon request. The workshop starts at 10am and goes to approximately 4pm. The event is free, but please register to attend by following the link below.

OPTIONAL WALKING TOUR

On Sunday, January 4, 2015 at 10:00am there will be an optional walking tour of the sub-area. This walking tour will be an opportunity to explore this part of the community, learn about key elements of neighbourhood character, and chat with other attendees about the specific issues that are important there. Meet at the corner of Salsbury and Parker. No registration is necessary for the tour.
